FAQs

What makes the Coolmax fabric special?

Coolmax fabric is engineered to wick moisture away from the body to the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate quickly. This keeps the wearer cool, dry, and comfortable, especially during physically demanding activities.

Is this jacket suitable for all kitchen roles?

Yes, its design and material make it suitable for chefs, cooks, sous chefs, and other kitchen staff who require comfort and functionality. However, some roles might require specific safety features not included in this jacket.

What does '200gsm' mean?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter.' A 200gsm fabric weight indicates a medium-weight fabric, offering a balance between durability and breathability.

How does the sustainability certification benefit me?

Certifications like Better Cotton Initiative, GRS Certified, and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 indicate that the materials used are produced responsibly, with consideration for environmental impact and ethical labor practices.

Can I wear this jacket outside of a professional kitchen?

While designed for professional use, its comfortable and breathable nature might make it suitable for other work environments or casual wear where similar features are desired.

What is the warranty on this jacket?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty policy for specific details regarding coverage and duration, as this information is not provided in the product description.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the Coolmax fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Color fading after several washes

Wash the jacket inside out in cold water. Avoid using bleach and minimize exposure to direct sunlight during drying.

Stud fasteners are difficult to use

Ensure the studs are properly aligned before fastening. If they remain stiff, a gentle push and wiggle should help. Over time, they may loosen slightly with use.

Excessive heat retention despite Coolmax fabric

While Coolmax enhances breathability, it is still a fabric. Ensure the jacket fits correctly (not too tight) and that other layers underneath are also breathable. Consider opening studs for more ventilation if appropriate.

Care Instructions:
