Mascot Advanced Ultimate Stretch Waterproof Outer Shell Jacket - Moss Green/Black - XXXL

EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. Class 3/3 indicates the highest level of protection for both water-penetrability (Class 3) and water-vapour resistance (Class 3), meaning it offers excellent protection against rain and is highly breathable.

Yes, this jacket is designed as an outer shell. While it provides excellent windproof and waterproof protection, it is lightweight. For very cold weather, layering with insulating mid-layers (like fleece or down) is recommended.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse. Ensure the storm flap is clear. For lubrication, use a silicone-based product or wax specifically designed for zippers.

The reflectors are designed for visibility. Their durability depends on care and wear. Avoid excessive abrasion and follow washing instructions to maintain their reflective properties.

The primary benefit is superior freedom of movement and comfort. The four-way stretch fabric adapts to your body's movements, making it ideal for physically demanding tasks where flexibility is crucial.

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged compression, as this can affect the fabric's performance and waterproofing. Hanging is generally preferred. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before long-term storage.

Taped seams mean that the stitches on the inside of the jacket have been sealed with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from penetrating through the needle holes, ensuring the jacket remains waterproof even at the seams.

Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical outdoor gear. Ensure the garment is clean before application and follow the product's instructions carefully. Check that all seams are intact and zippers are functioning correctly.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Ensure the internal storm flap is not caught in the zipper.

The jacket may require cleaning. Wash according to care instructions, ensuring all detergent is thoroughly rinsed out. If the issue persists, the membrane might be clogged; consider a specialized technical wash.

Ensure the drawstring is properly threaded through the housing and that the toggle/stopper is functioning correctly. If the drawstring is frayed, it may need replacement.
