FAQs

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for outdoor work, construction, trades, landscaping, hiking, and general outdoor activities where protection from wind and rain is needed, along with freedom of movement.

How waterproof is the jacket?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10000 mm, meaning it can withstand moderate rain and water pressure. It is constructed with a 3-layer softshell fabric designed for wind and water resistance.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

While the jacket provides wind and water protection, it is primarily a softshell layer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket or fleece underneath.

How do I clean the reflective tape?

To maintain the integrity of the reflective tape, avoid harsh scrubbing. Follow the standard washing instructions: machine wash at 40°C and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use bleach or dry clean.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is removable and also adjustable, allowing you to customize its fit and wearability based on your needs and the weather conditions.

What is the benefit of the fleece-lined collar?

The fleece-lined collar adds extra comfort and warmth around the neck area, preventing chafing and providing a softer feel against the skin, especially in windy conditions.

How is the breathability rating (Ret 20.0) interpreted?

A Ret value of 20.0 indicates good breathability. Lower Ret values signify better breathability. This rating means the jacket allows a reasonable amount of moisture vapor to escape, helping to regulate body temperature during activity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart and consider layering needs. Adjust the hem drawstring and sleeve cuffs for a better fit.

Water seeping through fabric

Check the waterproof rating (10000 mm). For persistent issues, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing, following product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the zipper path is clear of fabric or debris. Gently lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket is not breathable, causing sweat buildup

Ensure the inner layers are moisture-wicking. Open zippers for ventilation when possible. The Ret 20.0 rating indicates good breathability, but intense activity may still lead to moisture buildup.
