FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, offering good protection. However, it is a shell jacket, and for very cold weather, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

How do I ensure the waterproof capabilities last?

Follow the care instructions precisely, particularly the washing and professional dry-cleaning recommendations. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof membrane and taped seams.

What does EN 343 3/3 certification mean?

EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. The 3/3 rating indicates the highest level of protection for both water permeability and water-vapor resistance, meaning it offers superior protection against rain and is highly breathable.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C on a coloured wash cycle. However, avoid tumble drying, bleaching, and ironing.

Are the reflectors integrated or added on?

The reflectors are integrated into the jacket's design for enhanced visibility and durability.

What is the fabric made of?

The jacket is made from a blend of 87% Polyester and 13% Elastane, contributing to its durability, stretch, and comfort.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes, the hood is detachable and lined, with adjustable drawstrings for a customized fit.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Water is seeping through seams

While the jacket has taped seams, prolonged extreme exposure or damage to the seam tape could occur. Check the integrity of the seam tape. Ensure care instructions are followed, as improper washing can affect waterproofing.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the garment's interior is clean. Sweat and dirt can clog membrane pores. Follow the recommended washing instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impair breathability.
