FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket can withstand up to 10,000mm of water, providing significant protection against rain and moisture.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester with a PU coating and has a material weight of 330gsm.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, it features a concealed hood made from Fortex fabric, which can be stored when not in use.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection, making it a good outer layer. For very cold weather, layering with thermal clothing underneath is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
What does 'welded seams' mean?
Welded seams are created by fusing the fabric together, often with a waterproof tape, to create a completely sealed, waterproof barrier, preventing water penetration at the stitching points.
Can I wear this jacket for casual use or only for work?
While designed for workwear practicality, its waterproof and windproof features make it suitable for general outdoor activities where protection from the elements is needed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be leaking water
Check if seams are fully sealed and if the PU coating is intact. Ensure the garment has been washed and dried according to care instructions, and consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Hood is not staying concealed
Ensure the hood is fully folded and secured using any provided snaps or Velcro. Check for any obstructions preventing it from sitting flat.
