FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The Herock Trystan Softshell Jacket is designed to provide protection against wind, water (light to moderate rain), and cold, while remaining breathable during physical activity.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent with a 5000 mm rating, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider that this is a unisex garment. Measure your chest and compare it with the provided dimensions. If you are between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for a more relaxed fit or for layering.
Can the hood be completely removed?
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it for different weather conditions or preferences.
What are the care instructions for maintaining water repellency?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing. For best results in maintaining water repellency, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically.
What materials is the jacket made of?
The main fabric is a bonded 300g/m² fabric with a 100% polyester ripstop outer layer and a 100% polyester micro-fleece inner layer. The contrast fabric is a bonded 310g/m² fabric with a 100% polyester outer layer and a TPU membrane, and a 100% polyester micro-fleece inner layer.
What standards does this jacket meet?
The jacket meets EN ISO 13688:2013 (general requirements for protective clothing) and EN 14058:2017 (clothing for protection against cool environments).
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside during activity
Ensure the jacket is not too tight, as this can restrict airflow. Check that the cuffs and hem are not sealed too tightly, allowing for ventilation. If conditions are very humid, the breathability limits may be reached.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended. The water-repellent finish may also degrade over time; consider a re-waterproofing treatment if performance diminishes.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Detachable hood is difficult to reattach
Align the hood attachment points carefully with the jacket collar. Ensure all snaps, zippers, or Velcro closures are properly lined up before fastening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The jacket is designed to be compatible with other workwear and outdoor apparel. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the jacket at a low temperature (typically 30°C or 40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's technical properties. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Ironing is not recommended; if necessary, use a cool iron setting. Regular cleaning will help maintain the jacket's water-repellent and breathable characteristics.
