Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This is an unlined jacket, designed primarily for waterproof and high-visibility protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

This is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest class, indicating the garment offers the maximum level of visibility, typically required for work on or near high-speed roads.

How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?

Follow the washing and care instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment as needed, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not dry clean.

What is the purpose of the two-way zip?

The two-way zip allows you to open the jacket from both the top and the bottom. This provides flexibility for ventilation and easier access to items in your trouser pockets without fully unzipping the jacket.

Does the 'Sealtex Ultra' fabric stretch?

Yes, the Sealtex Ultra fabric has mechanical stretch properties, allowing for better movement and comfort during physical activity.

What is the UPF rating?

The jacket has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of 40+, meaning the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UV rays.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment (like Texpel™ Splash Eco) and tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry to activate.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently lubricate the zipper with a wax-based product or graphite from a pencil.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside.

Check if the jacket is excessively dirty or if fabric softeners were used during washing. Clean thoroughly with mild detergent and rinse well. Ensure internal layers worn are also breathable.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

This indicates wear and tear. While minor peeling might be manageable with fabric glue, significant damage compromises visibility. Consider replacing the garment if safety is critical.
