FAQs

What makes this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is made from a 3-layer softshell fabric with a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm. This means it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure before leaking.

Is the hood insulated?

No, the hood is unlined and designed to be detachable and adjustable. It provides protection from wind and rain but does not offer significant insulation on its own.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for measurements. The jacket is designed for adult unisex wear and should provide a comfortable fit allowing for movement. Ensure chest and sleeve measurements are considered.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

While the jacket is windproof and waterproof, it is unlined. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to wear additional insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal base layer.

What are the benefits of the reflective details?

The dark reflective piping on the shoulders and back increases your visibility in low-light conditions, which is a crucial safety feature for working outdoors or near traffic.

How durable are the zippers?

The jacket features robust one-way plastic zippers for the front closure and pockets. While designed for durability, plastic zippers can be susceptible to wear over time with heavy use.

Is this jacket suitable for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the breathable fabric (4000 g/m²/24H) and 2-way stretch make it suitable for activities with moderate to high exertion levels where staying dry from both external moisture and internal sweat is important.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. Gently apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

Follow the care instructions carefully, ensuring no fabric softener or harsh detergents are used. Consider using a specialized wash-in waterproofing treatment for softshell garments if performance continues to decline.

Hood adjustment is loose.

Ensure the drawstring is properly threaded through the hood and hem. Tighten the drawstring to secure the hood. Check for any damage to the drawstring or its toggles.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. The hood can be attached or detached as needed.

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed as an outer or mid-layer for adult wear. It pairs well with base layers for warmth and can be worn over lighter shirts or fleeces. It is suitable for a wide range of work environments and outdoor activities.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can permanently damage the fabric and its membrane.
  5. Professional Cleaning: If professional cleaning is required, use a solvent for textile finishing. Avoid trichloroethylene.
