FAQs

What makes this jacket suitable for welding?

The jacket meets EN ISO 11611 Class 2 standards, providing protection against welding and associated processes.

How long does the flame resistance last?

The flame resistance is guaranteed for the life of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.

Can I wear this jacket in very hot conditions?

This is a winter jacket designed for warmth and protection in cold conditions. While it offers protection against heat hazards, its insulation makes it unsuitable for very hot environments where heat stress could occur.

What is the UPF rating and what does it mean?

The jacket has a 50+ UPF rating, which means it blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.

How do I clean the jacket to preserve its safety features?

Wash at a maximum of 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Avoid dry cleaning.

What material is the filling made of?

The filling is made of 100% Polyester Flame Resistant Filling, weighing 150g, providing significant insulation.

Is the hood detachable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and attaches with a brass zip for added versatility.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing adequate warmth

Ensure all zippers are closed, including the detachable hood. Check that inner layers are not too bulky, affecting insulation. The jacket is designed for specific temperature ranges; extreme cold may require additional thermal layers.

Reflective tape peeling or damaged

Avoid direct ironing on the tape. Follow washing and drying instructions precisely. If damage is significant, the reflective properties may be compromised, and replacement might be necessary.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is free of debris. Gently move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or beeswax to the teeth of the brass zipper.

Loss of flame resistance or anti-static properties

This is often due to improper washing or exposure to harsh chemicals. Strictly adhere to the care instructions, avoiding bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning. If properties are lost, the garment's safety rating is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear upon arrival. The detachable hood attaches via a brass zip; ensure this zip is properly aligned and fully zipped for secure attachment.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in various sizes (L, XXL, XXXL, S, M). Consult the sizing chart to ensure the correct fit for optimal comfort and protection.
  • Layering: Designed to be worn over workwear. Ensure inner layers do not compromise the fit or the jacket's protective features.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the flame resistance and anti-static properties, follow these care guidelines strictly:

  1. Washing: Wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's protective qualities.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry away from direct sunlight.
  4. Ironing: Iron at a medium temperature (up to 150°C / 300°F). Do not iron the reflective tape directly.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
