Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

It is designed to be waterproof and windproof, though it is intended for standard outdoor work conditions rather than immersion in water.

Can I wear this in extreme cold?

The EV4 is a softshell bomber. While it provides windproofing, you may need to layer heavier insulating garments underneath for sub-zero temperatures.

What does Acti-Reach mean?

Acti-Reach is a one-panel construction design that prevents the jacket from pulling or lifting when you raise your arms.

How do I care for the reflective prints?

Wash the garment inside out to prevent the reflective prints from rubbing against other clothes or the machine drum.

Does it have internal pockets?

Yes, the jacket includes multiple secure storage points for keeping personal items or tools safe.

Is the fabric heavy?

No, it utilizes a 4-way stretch material that is designed to be lightweight and mobile rather than heavy and bulky.

Troubleshooting

Water beading is no longer effective

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; apply a garment-safe waterproof spray treatment.

Jacket feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which leave residue that impairs fabric breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent abrasion resistance on high-wear areas
  • High degree of flexibility due to 4-way stretch fabric
  • Windproof and waterproof protection
  • Enhanced reach and mobility for manual tasks
  • Integrated reflective elements for safety

Cons

  • Not suitable for extreme winter weather
  • Polyester construction may trap heat during intense exertion
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain waterproofing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment does not require specific setup; simply ensure the size selected allows for comfortable layering underneath if required. Because the jacket features reflective prints and specialized coatings, it should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents, as these can degrade the waterproof and reflective properties of the fabric. Always air dry the garment; avoid placing it in a high-heat tumble dryer, which can damage the stretch fibers and protective armour sections.
