Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof up to 10000 mm, offering good protection against moderate rain. However, as the seams are not taped, it may not provide complete waterproofing during prolonged, heavy downpours.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, inside out, and close all zippers. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the hood is removable and adjustable, allowing you to customize your protection based on weather conditions.

What does 'Ret 20.0' mean for breathability?

Ret refers to the thermal resistance of the fabric. A lower Ret value indicates better breathability. Ret 20.0 is considered good for general outdoor activities, helping to prevent overheating.

Are the reflective elements bright?

The jacket features dark reflective tape. While it enhances visibility in low-light conditions, it is designed to be less conspicuous than traditional bright reflective materials.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The main material is a 3-layer softshell fabric consisting of 92% polyester and 8% elastane.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind and water resistance with a fleece-lined collar and extended back for warmth. For extremely cold conditions, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or less flexible

Ensure the jacket is washed according to care instructions. Over time, specific cleaning agents or improper drying can affect fabric flexibility.

Water seeping through seams

This is expected in heavy, prolonged rain as seams are not taped. For less intense moisture, ensure the fabric's water-repellent treatment is intact. Reapply a suitable fabric protector if needed.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently wiggling the zipper. If persistent, use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the teeth.

Reduced breathability

Check for blockages in the fabric's pores. Wash the jacket inside out with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly to remove residue. Avoid fabric softeners, which can clog pores.
