Are the front pockets secure?

How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What is the benefit of the two-way zipper?
The two-way zipper allows you to open the jacket from both the top and bottom, providing adjustable ventilation and improved comfort, especially when sitting or riding.
How can I improve the visibility of the jacket?
The jacket features reflective HV-Polo prints on the chest and sleeve, which enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If stiff, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth or use a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing and drying according to the product's care instructions.
