FAQs
What does EN 343 certification mean?
EN 343 is a European standard that certifies protective clothing against adverse weather, specifically rain. It relates to the garment's resistance to penetration by water and its breathability.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is designed for layering. You can wear warmer layers underneath to adapt it for colder conditions. The shell itself provides a windproof and waterproof barrier.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) with similar colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron at a maximum of 110°C (230°F). Do not dry clean. Always close zippers before washing.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is removable and adjustable, allowing you to customize its fit and coverage.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from a 100% polyester oxford laminate with a mesh lining.
Can I wear this jacket for high-visibility work?
No, this jacket is not high-visibility certified, so it is not suitable for work environments that require high-visibility clothing.
What are the dimensions of the pockets?
The product information specifies functional pockets including a chest pocket with zipper, front pockets with zipper, and an inside pocket with zipper, but does not provide exact dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This could be due to internal moisture buildup. Ensure the jacket's breathability is not compromised by ensuring inner layers are also breathable and that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. Check that the zippers are fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted.
Water seems to be leaking through seams.
Although the jacket has taped seams, prolonged submersion or extreme pressure could challenge its limits. Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions, as improper washing can affect seam integrity. If leakage persists after proper care, contact customer support.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
