FAQs
What does '7-in-1' mean for this coat?
It means the coat can be configured in seven different ways. This includes wearing the outer shell alone, the inner body warmer alone (reversible), or various combinations of the two with or without the detachable hood and collar, allowing adaptation to different weather conditions.
What safety standards does this coat meet?
The PULSAR PR497 meets EN ISO 20471 Class 3 for high visibility, EN343 Class 3:3 for protection against precipitation and air permeability, and RIS-3279 for railway safety standards in the UK.
How do I clean the PULSAR PR497 coat?
Wash at 40°C with similar colours. Use a warm iron only. Do not tumble dry, do not dry clean, and do not use bleach. Proper care is crucial for maintaining its performance.
Can I wear the inner body warmer separately?
Yes, the inner body warmer is reversible and can be worn as a standalone garment for milder, dry conditions.
Is the hood detachable?
Yes, the garment includes a Nordic design detachable lined hood, which can be removed or attached as needed.
What is the material of the coat?
The outer shell is made from 300D breathable PU coated polyester, and the lining is 100% polyester mesh. The body warmer is padded with grey soft-touch micro-fibre.
What does the 'flip out ID window' do?
This is a clear pocket, typically located on the chest, designed to hold an identification card. It can be flipped out for easy access or display when required.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the coat.
Ensure all zippers and velcro storm flaps are fully secured. Check the condition of the PU coating; if it appears degraded, the waterproof properties may be compromised. Follow the care instructions precisely, as improper washing can damage the coating.
Coat feels too hot or too cold.
Utilize the 7-in-1 design. For warmer conditions, remove layers like the hood or the body warmer. For colder conditions, ensure all layers are correctly attached and zipped. The underarm ventilation can also be opened for increased airflow.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.
Reflective tape appears damaged or is peeling.
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, try re-ironing on a low setting with a protective cloth, but avoid direct heat on the tape. Significant damage may require replacement of the garment if safety standards cannot be met.
