FAQs

Can the inner jacket be worn on its own?

Yes, the inner jacket, including its detachable fleece sleeves, is designed to be worn independently for warmth and visibility in milder conditions.

What does '5-in-1' mean for this jacket?

It refers to the five different ways the jacket can be configured by combining or separating the outer shell and inner jacket, offering adaptability for various weather scenarios.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket offers good insulation, especially with both layers combined, and meets EN 342 standards for cold protection. However, extreme conditions may require additional thermal layering.

How do I ensure the high-visibility features last?

Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperatures and avoiding harsh chemicals or high heat drying, which can degrade the reflective tape and fluorescent materials.

What is the waterproof rating of the outer shell?

The outer shell has a waterproof rating of 15,000mm (WP 15,000mm), indicating it can withstand significant water pressure.

Is the hood detachable?

The hood is described as 'pack away', meaning it can be concealed or folded into the collar rather than being fully detachable.

What safety standards does this jacket meet?

It meets EN ISO 20471 Class 3, RIS-3279-TOM Issue 1 (Orange Only), EN 343:2019 Class 3:1, and EN 342 standards, among others.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth and try moving it gently. Clean any debris from the zipper track.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Check if all seams are properly taped and intact. For significant wear, re-sealing seams with a seam sealer might be necessary. Ensure the garment has not been damaged.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat in washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, carefully iron over the affected area on a low setting with a cloth barrier. Significant damage may compromise visibility and require replacement.

Inner jacket does not zip in correctly.

Align the zipper teeth carefully. Ensure the outer jacket's zipper is fully open and that no fabric is bunched up. Try zipping it slowly and deliberately.
