Full details

FAQs

What does the 10K/10K rating mean?

The 10K rating indicates the jacket's ability to withstand 10,000 millimeters of water pressure (waterproofness) and to allow 10,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter over 24 hours (breathability).

How do I clean and maintain the DWR coating?

Wash the jacket using a gentle cycle with cold water and no fabric softener. After washing, you can re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions to restore its water-repellent properties.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for wet-weather protection and has a fleece-lined collar for warmth. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating mid-layers is recommended.

What is the environmental benefit of the recycled fabric and C0 DWR?

Using recycled fabric reduces waste and reliance on virgin materials. C0 DWR coatings are fluorine-free, making them a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional DWR treatments.

How should I choose my size?

The jacket has a relaxed fit designed for layering. Consult the sizing guide and consider if you prefer a looser or snugger fit when layering to select the best size.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?

The jacket offers good breathability with its 10K rating and includes vents. However, for very intense, sustained aerobic activities, breathability might be a limiting factor compared to jackets specifically designed for high output.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or not repelling water effectively

The DWR (durable water repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.

Jacket feels clammy or excessively warm inside

Ensure the underarm and back vents are open. Reduce the number of layers underneath if possible. Check that the breathability rating is suitable for your activity level and environmental conditions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax if necessary.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged

Avoid high-heat drying or ironing, as this can damage the reflective prints. If minor peeling occurs, a fabric adhesive might provide a temporary fix, but significant damage may affect visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup. Simply wear it.

Compatibility:

The jacket is designed for adult males and offers a relaxed fit suitable for layering over base layers, mid-layers, or t-shirts. It is intended for cycling, commuting, and general outdoor activities where weather protection and visibility are needed.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle.
  • Wash with similar colours.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Do not iron.
  • Do not dry clean.
