FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2 mean?

This standard specifies requirements for high-visibility clothing. Class 2 is an intermediate level of visibility, suitable for situations where workers are near moving vehicles but not in the highest risk environments. For higher risk areas, Class 3 is often required, which can be achieved by combining this jacket with other certified garments.

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features a softshell fabric with a membrane and DWR finish, offering good water resistance against light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not perform adequately in heavy, prolonged downpours.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This softshell jacket is designed for moderate temperatures and wind resistance. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers and a base layer.

How do I maintain the DWR finish?

The DWR finish can be refreshed by washing the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble drying on a low heat setting (if manufacturer instructions allow) or using a specific DWR treatment spray after washing.

What is the benefit of the 'no shoulder seams' design?

Eliminating shoulder seams enhances comfort when wearing backpack straps or harnesses and also prevents potential water ingress points, contributing to better durability and weather protection.

Can the ID card loop be used for anything else?

The ID card loop is primarily designed for attaching identification cards. While it might hold other small, lightweight items, its intended use is for ID.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility of reflective stripes

Ensure the jacket is clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing and drying, as these can degrade the reflective material. Consult the care instructions for proper cleaning methods.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Check the zipper track for any fabric or debris caught in it. Gently try to clear any obstructions. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Water is penetrating the fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off over time. Consider applying a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for technical outerwear after cleaning to restore water repellency.

Fit feels restrictive

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that do not bunch up. The articulated sleeves are designed for mobility, but extremely bulky underlayers could impede movement. Adjust the hem drawcord for a better fit around the waist.
