FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket is waterproof to 10,000mm, which indicates a high level of resistance to water penetration.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath, as the jacket itself is designed primarily for weather protection rather than insulation.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity sports?

While it offers excellent weather protection, its primary design is for outdoor work. For very high-intensity activities where significant sweating occurs, internal condensation might be an issue due to its robust waterproofing. Consider your activity level when choosing this jacket.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester with a 330gsm PU coated fabric.

Does the hood zip away or is it permanently attached?

The hood is concealed, meaning it can be stored away neatly within the collar when not in use.

What sizes and colors are available?

This specific product is a Green, Size Large. The Flex Jacket is also available in Navy and in sizes ranging from Small to 3XL.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside

This could be due to internal condensation if worn during high-exertion activities without adequate ventilation. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped, and consider if the activity level requires more breathable outerwear. Check that all seams are intact and the fabric coating is undamaged.

Water is seeping through seams

The welded seams may be damaged or compromised. Inspect the seams for any tears or separation. If damage is found, the waterproof integrity is reduced. Consider using a seam sealer designed for waterproof garments or seek professional repair if possible. Ensure washing and drying procedures are followed to prevent further damage.

Jacket material feels stiff or loses flexibility

This can happen if the jacket has been exposed to excessive heat or washed/dried improperly. Avoid high heat when washing or drying. If stiffness is due to dirt, clean according to care instructions. For minor stiffness, wearing the jacket may help restore some flexibility.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If the zipper is sticking, try gently cleaning the teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then rinse and dry. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and windproof properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as they can damage the fabric's coating and taped seams.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the PU coating and welded seams.
  5. Reproofing: For continued optimal performance, consider using a re-waterproofing spray suitable for technical outerwear periodically, especially after several washes.
