FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The jacket is designed for high-visibility work environments, offering protection from rain and wind while ensuring the wearer is easily seen.
How do I ensure the best protection from the elements?
Always ensure the storm flap is closed, the cuffs are adjusted securely, and the hood is deployed or packed away as needed. Proper care as outlined will maintain its waterproof and windproof qualities.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent wind and rain protection, but it is unlined and primarily designed for protection against elements rather than insulation. Layering with thermal clothing underneath is recommended for cold conditions.
What does 'WP 5,000mm' and 'MVP 3,000g/m²/24hrs' mean?
WP 5,000mm indicates the hydrostatic head, meaning it can withstand a water column of 5,000mm before showing signs of leakage. MVP 3,000g/m²/24hrs refers to the breathability rating, signifying the amount of water vapor that can pass through the fabric in 24 hours, indicating good breathability.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?
Wash with like colors using a mild detergent, do not use fabric softener, and do not dry clean. Tumble dry on low or drip dry. Avoid direct ironing on the reflective tape.
What is the benefit of the Texpel™ Splash Eco finish?
This PFAS-free finish causes water to bead and roll off the fabric's surface, enhancing its water repellency and helping the garment dry faster while being environmentally friendlier.
Can I wear this jacket for casual use?
While functional and protective, its design is optimized for work. However, its high-visibility and weather-resistant features can be beneficial for casual outdoor activities where safety and protection are priorities.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain.
This can occur if the fabric's breathability is compromised. Ensure the jacket is washed correctly with like colors and without fabric softener. Check that filters (if any) are clean and that there are no blockages in the vents.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Verify that the seams are properly sealed and that the PU coating is intact. Wash the garment according to instructions. For persistent issues, the waterproof membrane may be damaged.
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, and do not iron the reflective tape directly. Gently re-adhere with a low-heat iron if necessary, protecting the tape with a cloth. Damaged tape may need professional repair or replacement.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstructions. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Clean any debris that might be jamming the mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Excellent waterproof and windproof protection.
High level of breathability for wearer comfort.

Cons
Primarily designed for work environments, may be overly functional for casual use.

PU coating might affect long-term flexibility in extreme cold.
Lighter weight construction might be less insulating in very cold conditions without layering.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Compatibility is generally high for adult males, with various sizes available. To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
Washing: Wash with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability.
Drying: Drip dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
Cleaning: Do not dry clean. For minor stains, a damp cloth can be used.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
