FAQs

What does EN 343 class 3/3 certification mean?

EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. Class 3/3 indicates the highest level of protection for both water penetration resistance (Class 3) and breathability (Class 3), ensuring maximum dryness and comfort in wet conditions.

How do I determine the right size?

The jacket follows standard jacket sizing. Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider your typical fit preferences, keeping in mind you may wear layers underneath. The stretch fabric offers some flexibility.

Can the hood be removed completely?

Yes, the hood is detachable. It is also lined and features an adjustable drawstring for a custom fit when attached.

What kind of fabric is this jacket made of?

The jacket is made from a blend of 87% polyamide and 13% elastane, offering a four-way stretch for flexibility and durability.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

As an outer shell, it provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating mid-layers is recommended.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a coloured wash cycle at 40°C. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Professional dry-cleaning using hydrocarbons is recommended for optimal care.

Are the reflectors on the jacket durable?

The reflectors are designed to enhance visibility. To ensure their longevity, follow the recommended care instructions carefully, avoiding harsh chemicals and high heat.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.

Ensure all seams are intact. Re-evaluate care routine; consider professional cleaning if fabric treatments may have degraded.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Hood is not fitting securely.

Adjust the internal drawstring on the hood to achieve a tighter, more secure fit around the face.

Thumbholes feel restrictive.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size jacket. The stretch fabric should allow for movement, but a size too small can cause restriction.

Reflectors appear faded or damaged.

Avoid harsh detergents and high-heat drying, which can degrade reflective materials over time. Follow care instructions meticulously.
