FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is showerproof, meaning it handles light rain well, but it is not intended to be fully waterproof in heavy rain.
What does the UPF 40+ rating mean?
It means the fabric blocks 97.5% of UV radiation, providing excellent protection against sun damage during outdoor work.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Use the adjustable hook and loop cuffs and the drawstring at the hem to create a secure fit that prevents cold air from entering.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
The jacket is ideal for moderate to cold conditions due to the fleece lining; for extreme cold, consider wearing a thermal base layer underneath.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry to keep the fleece soft and the reflective tape functional.
Troubleshooting
Reflective tape is losing its brightness
Ensure you are not using bleach or fabric softeners during wash cycles, as these chemicals coat the reflective micro-beads.
Jacket feels cold in high winds
Check that the waist drawstring is cinched properly and the cuffs are tightened to prevent air drafts from entering the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed as a direct-wear garment for adult males. To maintain the effectiveness of the reflective material and the integrity of the fleece lining:
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the reflective tape.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended. Avoid high heat from industrial dryers, which can cause the shell material to shrink or damage the reflective backing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding the jacket tightly for long periods to prevent creasing the reflective tape.
- Fitment: Use the internal drawstring hem and the hook and loop cuffs to tailor the fit over layers or close to the body for maximum heat retention.
