Product Information

Full details

The Altura Nightvision Storm Jacket is designed for adult male cyclists seeking reliable wet-weather protection and enhanced visibility. Its key benefit is providing a balance of waterproofing, breathability, and reflective elements for safety in low-light conditions. A potential caveat is its relaxed fit, which may require careful sizing for a precise feel. This jacket utilizes a recycled outer fabric with an eco-friendly DWR coating, features a 10K/10K waterproof and breathability rating, and incorporates large reflective print areas for superior visibility.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the waterproof and breathability rating?

The jacket features a 10K waterproof and 10K breathability rating, offering a good balance for varied weather conditions.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C using a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Re-apply DWR treatment as needed.

Is this jacket suitable for very heavy rain?

The jacket provides dependable wet-weather protection with a 10K rating, suitable for most rain conditions. For extremely heavy or prolonged downpours, additional protection might be considered.

What does 'C0 DWR' mean?

C0 DWR refers to a durable water repellent finish that is free from fluorine chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly than traditional DWR treatments.

Can I wear this over a thicker jacket?

The jacket has a relaxed fit designed for easy layering. While it accommodates a base layer and a light jersey comfortably, wearing a very thick jacket underneath might feel bulky.

Are there other colour options available?

Yes, while the product information highlights the Silver XXL, this model is typically available in other colours such as Yellow and Orange.

What material is the jacket made from?

The outer fabric is made from recycled polyester, treated with an eco-friendly C0 DWR coating.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric.

Feeling too warm during moderate activity

Open the underarm and back vents fully to increase airflow. Consider wearing lighter layers underneath or removing a layer if conditions permit.

Reduced visibility in low light

Ensure all reflective panels are clean and unobstructed. While the jacket enhances visibility, always supplement with active bike lights.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth for smoother operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent visibility in low-light conditions due to extensive reflective detailing.
  • Dependable wet-weather protection with a good waterproof and breathability rating.
  • Comfortable to wear due to the fleece-lined collar and ventilation options.
  • Environmentally conscious design using recycled materials and eco-friendly DWR.
  • Versatile for various activities like commuting, errands, or casual rides.

Cons

  • The relaxed fit might not be ideal for those seeking a very snug, aerodynamic cycling fit.
  • While water-repellent, extreme downpours might eventually test the limits of the DWR coating.
  • Limited colour options in the specific product description provided (Silver is highlighted).
  • Can be warm in milder temperatures due to the focus on weather protection.
  • May require careful consideration of sizing for optimal layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and layering.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male cyclists, its relaxed fit makes it compatible with standard cycling apparel. It can be worn over base layers, jerseys, or light mid-layers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a non-biological detergent.
  2. Detergents: Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents, as they can degrade the DWR coating and fabric performance.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, periodically re-apply a DWR treatment (follow product instructions for the specific treatment used).
