FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of the Fort Flex Jacket?

The jacket is waterproof up to 10,000mm, which is considered suitable for heavy rain conditions.

What materials is the jacket made from?

It is constructed from 330gsm PU Coated Fabric and 100% Polyester.

Is the hood detachable?

The jacket features a concealed hood, meaning it can be stored within a zippered compartment, typically in the collar.

What types of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for outdoor work such as construction, road work, farming, and mechanics, as well as outdoor hobbies like hiking or fishing in wet and windy conditions.

How should I clean the jacket?

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

Does the jacket come in different colors and sizes?

Yes, the jacket is available in Green and Navy, and in sizes ranging from Small to 3XL.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides good wind and water protection, which helps with insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for technical fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain

This could be due to internal condensation. Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers and that the jacket's vents (if any) are not blocked. Allow for some ventilation if active.

Seam tape is peeling

This is a more significant issue. Contact customer support. Minor peeling might be temporarily addressed with fabric glue suitable for outdoor gear, but structural integrity may be compromised.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or aggressive cleaning agents, as these can damage the waterproof coating.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases are present after washing, hang the garment to allow them to fall out naturally.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
