FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is extremely water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and water splashes. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

This standard indicates that the garment provides the highest level of visibility for safety clothing. Class 3 is the highest rating, ensuring maximum conspicuity.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

While the fabric is breathable, the fleece lining provides warmth. It is best suited for cooler or transitional weather conditions. It may be too warm for very hot climates.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its features?

Follow the care instructions: machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, tumble dry low, and iron on a low setting. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

What is the purpose of the radio loop?

The radio loop is a small strap designed to hold a two-way radio securely, keeping it within easy reach while allowing for freedom of movement.

Does the yellow color meet safety standards?

Yes, the yellow color, along with the reflective tape, meets EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standards for high visibility.

What material is the jacket made of?

The shell fabric is 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane (310g), laminated to 100% Polyester Micro Polar Fleece (150g).

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Reapply a water-repellent treatment after washing according to care instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment.

Zipper sticking

Clean the zipper teeth and lubricate with graphite (pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant.

Reflective tape peeling or cracking

Avoid harsh detergents and high heat during washing and drying. If peeling is minor, it might be repairable with fabric glue, but significant damage may require replacement.

Fit is too tight/loose

Adjust hook and loop cuffs for a snugger fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
