FAQs

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is best suited for moderate outdoor work and activities where durability, comfort, and protection from light rain are needed. It's ideal for tradespeople, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone requiring robust yet flexible outerwear.

Is the water-repellent finish permanent?

The chemical-free water-repellent finish is durable but not permanent. It will diminish over time with washing and wear. It can be restored by reapplying a suitable DWR treatment.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket provides some insulation, but it is not designed as a heavy-duty winter coat. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over insulating garments like fleece or down for added warmth.

How do I ensure I'm ordering the correct size?

This jacket is available in women's sizes 8-16 UK. The specific variant is a Medium, which typically corresponds to a UK size 12. Please refer to a standard women's apparel size chart for precise measurements if unsure.

Are there other colors available?

This specific product is listed as 'Black'. Please check the product listing for any other available color options.

What does 'Ripstop' fabric mean?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. Intersecting threads are woven at regular intervals, strengthening the fabric without adding significant weight.

How does the reflective branding enhance safety?

The reflective Makita branding is designed to catch and reflect light from sources like headlights or workplace lighting, making the wearer more visible in low-light or hazardous environments.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced.

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. Iron on a low heat setting afterwards if recommended to reactivate the treatment.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. You can try gently rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket feels tight or restrictive during movement.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is otherwise correct, check that the stretch panels are properly aligned and not impeded by other clothing layers.

Fabric appears to be snagged or torn.

The ripstop fabric is designed to prevent small tears from spreading. For minor snags, carefully trim any loose threads. For larger tears, repair using a fabric patch or appropriate mending technique to prevent further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly or setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: While designed in partnership with Makita UK, this jacket is a standalone piece of workwear suitable for any adult seeking durable and functional outerwear. It is available in women's sizes 8-16 (this specific variant is size M, equivalent to UK size 12).

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish and fabric integrity.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight.
  4. Re-proofing: To restore the water-repellent finish after several washes, use a specialized water-repellent spray or wash-in product suitable for technical outerwear. Follow the product's instructions carefully. Iron on a low setting after application if recommended by the re-proofing product to reactivate the DWR treatment.
