FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent with a rating of 5000 mm, meaning it can withstand a moderate amount of rain. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it may not be fully waterproof like a dedicated rain jacket.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 3000 mvp (Moisture Vapor Transmission), which indicates good moisture management during physical activity.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The jacket features a thermal fleece lining and is windproof, making it suitable for cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and ironing, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
What does EN ISO 13688:2013 and EN 14058:2017 compliance mean?
These are European standards. EN ISO 13688:2013 relates to general requirements for protective clothing, while EN 14058:2017 specifically covers garments providing protection against cool environments (temperature below -5°C).
What material is the jacket made of?
The main fabric is a bonded 300g/m² fabric (100% polyester ripstop outer with mechanical stretch, 100% polyester micro-fleece inner). The contrast fabric is a bonded 310g/m² fabric (100% polyester with TPU membrane outer, 100% polyester micro-fleece inner).
Are there other colors or sizes available for this model?
This listing is for the Black - L size. Other sizes and colors may be available under different product listings or from the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced after washing.
Ensure you have followed the care instructions precisely. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade water-repellent coatings. Consider using a specialized waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment for technical garments after cleaning.
Jacket feels too warm indoors.
This is a thermal softshell jacket. For indoor use or warmer conditions, it is recommended to remove the jacket or fully unzip it for ventilation. The breathability rating helps manage heat during activity, but it is still an insulated garment.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Detachable hood is not fitting correctly.
Ensure the hood is fully zipped onto the jacket and that the attachment points are aligned correctly. Check for any obstructions in the zipper track.
