The 'eco-conscious fabric finish' typically refers to water-repellent treatments that are more environmentally friendly compared to older, more harmful chemical processes. Specific details would depend on the manufacturer's exact formulation.
Wash the jacket at 40°C with a liquid detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on medium heat and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.
This jacket is described as 'extremely water resistant' with a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and an MVP (Moisture Vapor Permeability) of 2,800g/m²/24hr, and also features 'waterproof with taped seams'. This indicates it can withstand significant water pressure and is protected against water penetration through seams, offering a high level of protection against rain and wet conditions.
Yes, the quilt lining provides thermal insulation, making it suitable for cold weather. For extremely low temperatures, layering additional thermal garments underneath is recommended.
The jacket features 10 pockets in total for ample storage.
The jacket is designed with ergonomic shaping for a male fit. While women can wear it, the fit may not be as optimal as a jacket specifically designed for women.
CE certification indicates that the product meets the health, safety, and environmental protection standards required for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). For this jacket, it signifies compliance with relevant safety standards, such as EN 343 for protective clothing against rain.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Check the integrity of the main zipper and storm flap. Re-apply a suitable water-repellent finish if the fabric's resistance has diminished, following product instructions.
Verify that the quilt lining is properly situated and not compressed. Ensure all closures (cuffs, waist, hem) are tightened to prevent heat loss. Consider layering additional thermal clothing underneath.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If necessary, apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Adjust the waist drawcord, hem drawcord, and touch-tape cuffs for a better fit. Ensure the jacket is not too small for the intended layering underneath. The ergonomic shaping is designed for a standard male fit.
