FAQs
What does 'Waterproof to 10,000mm' mean?
This rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10-meter column of water before leaking. It signifies a high level of waterproof protection suitable for heavy rain.
What does 'Breathable to 6000g/m²' mean?
This measurement refers to the amount of water vapor (in grams) that can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours. A rating of 6000g/m² indicates good breathability, allowing perspiration vapor to escape.
How does the Bionic-Finish Eco work?
Bionic-Finish Eco is a fluorine-free water-repellent treatment. It modifies the fabric's surface tension so that water droplets bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from absorbing moisture and maintaining its breathability.
Can I wear this coat in mild weather?
While designed for wet conditions, the coat's high breathability helps manage temperature. However, in very warm or mild weather, it might feel too warm due to its comprehensive weatherproofing features.
Is the contour fit suitable for all body types?
The contour fit is designed to be flattering and allow movement. If you prefer a looser or more relaxed fit, consider sizing up or trying on different styles.
How do I ensure the waterproofness lasts?
Proper care is essential. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach during washing. Regularly reactivate the DWR finish through heat (tumble dry or iron) or consider using a dedicated re-waterproofing product when needed.
What is the purpose of the chin guard?
The chin guard is a small flap of fabric at the top of the main zipper. It prevents the zipper slider from rubbing against your chin, adding comfort and preventing chafing.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
The Durable Waterproof Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivation. Tumble dry the coat on a low heat for 20 minutes or iron on a low setting with a protective cloth. If this doesn't help, consider using a re-waterproofing treatment.
Coat feels less breathable and interior is damp.
Ensure the garment is clean and free of detergent residue. Check that the fabric vents (if any) are not blocked. Wash and reactivate the DWR as per care instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth.
Hood is not staying securely attached.
Ensure the zipper for the hood attachment is fully engaged and zipped up correctly. Check for any obstructions in the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This coat is designed primarily for equestrian activities but is also suitable for general outdoor use in wet weather. It is available in various sizes.
Care: To maintain the coat's waterproof and breathable properties, especially the Bionic-Finish Eco treatment, follow these care instructions:
Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F). Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof finish.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. To reactivate the Durable Waterproof Repellent (DWR) finish, tumble dry for 20 minutes after washing or iron on a low setting with a towel between the iron and the garment.
Re-proofing: If the water repellency diminishes over time, consider using a Nikwax or Grangers wash-in or spray-on re-proofer designed for technical outerwear.
