FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, the jacket uses AquaDry Membrane technology and fully taped seams to ensure complete protection against rain.
Can I wear this in professional construction sites?
It is built for workwear durability, but please check if your site requires certified high-visibility PPE, as this jacket has reflective details but is not fully hi-vis rated.
How do I care for the RFID pocket?
The RFID protection is embedded in the fabric. It requires no special maintenance, but avoid harsh chemicals near the pocket area.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, the design includes an integrated hood to provide head protection against wind and rain.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the AquaDry technology is designed specifically to allow perspiration vapor to escape while blocking liquid water from entering.
Does the material stretch?
Yes, the jacket is constructed with stretch polyester, providing significantly more mobility than traditional waterproof shells.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the surface of the jacket.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a spray-on waterproofing treatment.
Condensation or moisture buildup inside the jacket.
Ensure you are layering appropriately; wearing non-breathable mid-layers can trap sweat. Also, verify that the jacket zippers are fully closed to allow the membrane to breathe effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adhere to the following care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using heavy-duty laundry detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Re-treating: Over time, water-beading performance may decline. Apply a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment to the outer shell to restore peak waterproof functionality.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away for extended periods to prevent mildew buildup.
