FAQs

What is the primary intended use for this jacket?

This jacket is primarily designed for individuals working in demanding industrial environments, such as the offshore industry, petrochemical plants, and areas where welding or exposure to heat and flame is a risk. It offers both warmth and multi-hazard protection.

How is the flame resistance maintained?

The flame resistance is guaranteed for the life of the garment. However, it's crucial to follow the specific care instructions, including washing temperatures and avoiding bleach or fabric softeners, to preserve these properties.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed for cold conditions with extra thick wadding insulation and an FR cotton lining to provide significant warmth.

What type of heat protection does it offer?

It offers protection against radiant heat, convective heat, and contact heat. It also provides Class 2 welding protection.

Are there options for different colors or sizes?

Yes, this model is available in Blue, Orange, and Red, and comes in a range of sizes from Small to XXXL. Please check the product details for specific availability.

What does 'Anti-Static' mean in this context?

Anti-static properties mean the jacket helps to reduce the build-up of static electricity, which is important in environments where static discharge could ignite flammable materials.

Can I wash this jacket in a standard washing machine?

Yes, you can wash it in a standard washing machine at a maximum of 40°C, but avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Ensure you follow all care instructions to maintain its protective qualities.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or too loose.

Utilize the inner waist adjustment cord to achieve a snugger or looser fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consult the sizing chart and consider exchanging for a different size from the available range (e.g., S, M, L, XXL, XXXL).

Reflective tape appears damaged or is peeling.

Avoid ironing the reflective tape directly. If damage occurs, contact customer support for advice on repair or replacement options, though specialized FR repair might be required.

Reduced warmth after several washes.

Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed, particularly regarding temperature and detergent type. Use of fabric softeners or harsh chemicals can degrade insulation and FR properties. Air dry instead of high-heat tumble drying where possible.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the zipper is clear of debris. Gently work the zipper back and forth. For persistent stiffness, a small application of graphite or a silicone-based lubricant on the teeth (ensure it's FR safe if possible) can help. Do not force the zipper.
