FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The Herock Trystan Softshell Jacket is designed for outdoor work and activities, providing protection against wind, water, and cool temperatures while remaining breathable.
What do the '3000 mvp' and '5000 mm' ratings mean?
'3000 mvp' (moisture vapor permeability) indicates breathability, allowing vapor to escape. '5000 mm' (water column) indicates its level of water resistance, meaning it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure before leaking.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent (5000 mm), making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof garment would be more appropriate.
What type of clothing should I wear underneath?
It is recommended to wear moisture-wicking base layers and/or insulating mid-layers underneath, depending on the temperature. Avoid cotton base layers, as they retain moisture.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Periodically re-apply a water-repellent treatment.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
While it offers good protection against cool environments and wind, for extreme cold, you may need to layer with more substantial insulation underneath.
What are the EN ISO 13688:2013 and EN 14058:2017 standards?
EN ISO 13688:2013 covers general requirements for protective clothing regarding ergonomics, innocuousness, aging, and marking. EN 14058:2017 specifies requirements for thermal insulation and protection against cool environments.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the surface effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment.
Jacket feels less windproof than before.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and cuffs/hem are tightened. The fabric's inherent properties are still present, but sealing the openings is key to wind resistance.
Inner fleece feels damp after activity.
While breathable, extreme exertion in very humid conditions can saturate the fabric. Ensure you are using appropriate base layers and allow the jacket to air dry fully afterwards.
Detachable hood is difficult to attach/remove.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Align the hood's zipper with the jacket's collar zipper carefully and zip slowly. Check for any obstructions.
