FAQs

What are the primary safety certifications for this jacket?

The jacket is certified EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 for high visibility, EN 343:2019 Class 3,1 for protection against rain, and EN 342:2017 for cold protection.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes, the hood is detachable and is designed to be helmet-compatible.

How should I wash the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C max), use liquid detergent, do not use fabric softener, and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate water repellency. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning. Limit machine washes to 20 times at 40°C.

Is the jacket insulated for extreme cold?

The jacket provides cold protection certified under EN 342:2017 with an Icler value of 0.333 m²K/W, making it suitable for cold conditions. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, layering may be recommended.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The shell is 100% Polyester, the lining is 100% Polyamide, and the insulation for sleeves and body is 100% Polyester (Recycled).

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

The fit can be tailored using vertical and horizontal hood adjustments, adjustable cuffs, and an adjustable hem with an elastic drawcord located inside the hand pocket.

What is the purpose of the internal pocket adjustment cord?

The elastic drawcord for hem adjustment is located inside the hand pocket to eliminate a potential snagging hazard on worksites, enhancing safety.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free of debris. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Water repellency seems reduced after washing.

Ensure the garment has been tumble dried on low heat, as this reactivates the water-repellent treatment. If the treatment has worn off significantly, consider using a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Hood adjustment is not holding its position.

Check the drawcord and its stoppers. Ensure the stoppers are fully engaged and the drawcord is not frayed or damaged. If the cord is worn, it may need to be replaced.

Reflective stripes appear faded or damaged.

Avoid harsh brushing or excessive rubbing on the reflective areas during washing or wear. Minor fading is normal with extensive use, but significant damage may affect visibility. Clean gently and avoid abrasive contact.
