FAQs

What makes this jacket 'eco-conscious'?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, an eco-conscious certified fabric, reducing environmental impact by utilizing reclaimed materials.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for visibility and protection from rain and wind. It is not heavily insulated and may require layering for warmth in very cold conditions.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild process, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid dry cleaning and harsh detergents.

What does '40+ UPF rated fabric' mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UV radiation, offering significant sun protection.

Can I add my company logo to this jacket?

Yes, the jacket features print access specifically for corporate branding. Please consult with a customization service for logo application.

What is the benefit of the double storm flap?

The double storm flap provides an extra layer of protection against wind and rain, preventing water from seeping through the main zipper area.

How long does the water-resistant finish last?

The Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish is designed for durability. However, its effectiveness can be extended by following the recommended care instructions, avoiding harsh chemicals, and considering re-treatment if performance visibly decreases.

Does this jacket comply with rail industry standards?

Yes, this jacket (in the orange variant, RIS 3279-TOM) and the yellow variant (compliant with EN ISO 20471) meet relevant industry safety standards, including those for the rail industry when applicable.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and zippers are fully closed. If the water-resistant finish has diminished, consider a re-treatment with a suitable fabric protector, but avoid harsh detergents during washing.

Reflective tape appears to be damaged or less effective.

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods and excessive heat during washing or drying. If significantly damaged, the tape may need professional replacement to meet certification standards.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Jacket feels damp inside, despite being waterproof.

Ensure the jacket is adequately ventilated if worn for strenuous activity. Check that the cuffs and hem are not overly tightened, which can trap moisture. Prolonged exposure to high humidity inside the jacket can lead to condensation.

Fit is uncomfortable or restrictive.

Adjust the drawcord hem and Hook and Loop cuffs for a more personalized fit. If the issue persists, consider if a different size would be more appropriate.
