This is an outer shell jacket designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. It is breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for layering over insulating garments in colder conditions. It does not provide significant insulation on its own.
The jacket comes in standard unisex sizes ranging from XS to XXXXL. Refer to the product's sizing chart or measure your chest and waist circumference to find the best fit, considering you might wear layers underneath.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. Use a colored wash at 40°C. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or tumble drying. It is best to air dry the jacket.
Yes, the jacket features waterproof zippers, including the main front closure and pocket zippers, to ensure water does not penetrate through these critical points.
EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. Certification class 3/3 indicates the highest level of protection for both water penetration and breathability according to this standard.
Yes, the hood is detachable. It is also lined and features an adjustable drawstring for a snug fit.
The jacket is made from 87% polyamide and 13% elastane, providing a durable, waterproof, and stretchable fabric.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If the jacket is old or has experienced heavy wear, the seam tape may be compromised. For minor issues, check care instructions; improper washing can affect seals. Contact customer support if damage is evident.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track. Ensure the internal storm flap is not caught in the zipper.
Check if the fabric's breathable membrane is blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions (40°C colored wash, no bleach, do not tumble dry). Ensure no fabric softener was used, as it can impair breathability.
Ensure the drawstring is not tangled or knotted. Check the stopper mechanism for damage or obstruction. Gently work the drawstring back and forth to loosen it if it feels stiff.
Reflectors can degrade over time with extensive washing or abrasion. Avoid ironing directly on the reflectors. If they are significantly damaged, their visibility function is impaired, and replacement may be necessary.
