Can I wear a hard hat with this jacket's hood?

How do I maintain the water-repellent feature?

The shell is 100% Polyester, the lining is 100% Polyamide, and both body and sleeve insulation are 100% Polyester (Recycled).

Are there special washing instructions?

What does 'VizLite DT' technology refer to?

Troubleshooting

Jacket not visible enough

Ensure all reflective elements are clean and unobstructed. The jacket's primary visibility is certified under EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 when worn correctly.

Reduced water repellency

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can impede this function.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Lightly wax the zipper teeth if needed. Always close zippers before washing.

Jacket feels too bulky

Verify you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed with insulation for warmth; consider layering with lighter base layers if needed for milder conditions.
