FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for transitional weather and offers waterproof and breathable protection. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating garment underneath.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid dry cleaning and use of fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof treatment.

What does EN 343:2019 Class 3:3 X mean?

This is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. Class 3:3 indicates a high level of performance in both water-resistance and breathability.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the jacket features underarm ventilation zips and mesh panels, along with articulated sleeves, which are designed to enhance breathability and freedom of movement for active use.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket has four pockets for ample storage.

What material is the jacket made from?

The shell fabric is 100% Polyester TPU (140g). The lining is 100% Polyester Mesh (65g) for the body and hood, and 100% Polyester Taffeta (60g) for the sleeves.

What are the benefits of the curved wind cuffs?

Curved wind cuffs are designed to provide a closer fit around the wrists, helping to prevent wind and rain from entering the sleeves and enhancing overall protection.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all seams are intact and that the fabric's waterproof coating has not been compromised. Re-waterproof treatment may be necessary if performance has degraded. Check that zippers are fully closed.

Reduced breathability

Clean the jacket according to care instructions to remove dirt and debris that may clog the fabric pores. Ensure ventilation zips and mesh panels are clear of obstructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zippers gently with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure the easy grip pullers are not obstructed.

Fit is too tight

This jacket features a slim fit. For a looser fit, consider layering with lighter clothing underneath or exploring alternative models if significant size adjustments are needed. Ensure the drawcord hem is adjusted correctly.
