FAQs

What makes CLIMASCOT insulation unique?

CLIMASCOT insulation is unique because it provides significant warmth without bulk. It is lightweight, soft, takes up very little space when compressed, and has a low density, making it an excellent insulating middle layer.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-repellent, which means it can handle light rain or damp conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

Can I wear this jacket indoors?

Due to its excellent insulating properties, this jacket is best suited for outdoor or cold indoor environments like warehouses or refrigerated areas. It may be too warm for standard indoor temperatures.

How does the stretch fabric benefit me?

The stretch fabric at the sides, combined with ergonomically shaped sleeves, provides enhanced freedom of movement. This is crucial for performing tasks that require bending, reaching, or stretching without the jacket restricting your motion.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective elements are integrated into the jacket's design to improve visibility. Their durability is generally consistent with professional workwear standards, but care should be taken during washing and drying to maintain their effectiveness.

What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean?

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification means the textile has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. It ensures the materials used meet strict environmental and safety standards.

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

You can adjust the fit using the high collar's drawstring, the elastic band at the cuffs, and the adjustable elastic drawstring located at the waist. These features help to customize the jacket for comfort and to seal out drafts.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too warm during moderate activity.

Consider wearing the jacket as an outer layer and removing it during intense activity, or using it primarily in colder conditions. The CLIMASCOT insulation is highly effective, which can lead to overheating if layered inappropriately for the activity level.

Water repellency seems reduced after several washes.

While the jacket is water-repellent, this property can diminish over time. For best results, follow washing instructions carefully. Consider using a reproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel if needed, though this is not a standard care requirement.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oils that could stain the fabric.
