FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for cool, windy, and moderately wet conditions. Its breathability makes it suitable for active use, while its water-repellent and windproof features offer protection against light rain and wind.
Can the hood be removed completely?
Yes, the hood is detachable and can be removed via its zipper, allowing for greater versatility depending on your needs and the weather.
What do the EN standards mean?
EN ISO 13688:2013 relates to general requirements for protective clothing, ensuring it's safe and suitable for wear. EN 14058:2017 specifies requirements for protective clothing against cold environments, indicating its thermal insulation properties.
How do I ensure the jacket remains breathable?
To maintain breathability, avoid using fabric softeners during washing and ensure the garment is clean. Specialized cleaning products designed for technical outerwear can help preserve the membrane's performance.
What material is the jacket made from?
The outer shell is 100% polyester ripstop with mechanical stretch. The inner lining is 100% polyester micro-fleece. The contrast fabric includes a TPU membrane for water resistance.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
While it offers good protection against wind and moderate cold, for extremely cold or snowy conditions, additional insulating layers beneath the jacket would be recommended.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for extended periods, as this can affect the fabric's structure and performance. Hanging it is generally preferred.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not as water-repellent as before
The water-repellent finish may have degraded. Use a specialized re-proofer for technical outerwear to restore its properties. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper track with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax to help it slide smoothly. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Hood detachment mechanism is stuck
Carefully inspect the zipper track for any obstructions. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure the zipper is fully unzipped before attempting to remove the hood.
Material feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not excessive heat during drying. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is recommended. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect performance.
