FAQs

What is the primary material of the jacket?

The jacket is primarily constructed from 100% nylon rip-stop fabric for durability, with stretch panels for enhanced movement.

Is the jacket waterproof or water-repellent?

The jacket has a chemical-free water-repellent finish, which protects against light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof.

How should I care for the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry low. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. The water-repellent finish may need re-treatment over time.

Are there internal pockets?

Yes, the jacket features an internal pocket designed for safe storage of essentials.

What does 'rip-stop' fabric mean?

Rip-stop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. Strong threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern.

Does the jacket offer any visibility features?

Yes, it includes reflective Makita branding to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides insulation. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over thermal clothing for added warmth.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size using the provided sizing chart. The stretch panels offer flexibility, but proper sizing is key for full range of motion.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The jacket features a water-repellent finish, not a waterproof coating. For heavy or prolonged rain, additional waterproof outer layers are recommended. The water-repellency may also diminish over time and with washing; consider re-applying a suitable fabric treatment.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zip track is free from debris. Gently clean the zip with a soft brush and a mild soap solution, then dry thoroughly. Avoid forcing the zip.
