FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This is an outer shell jacket designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. It is breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for layering over insulating garments in colder conditions. It does not provide significant insulation on its own.
How do I determine my size?
The jacket comes in standard unisex sizes ranging from XS to XXXXL. Refer to the product's sizing chart or measure your chest and waist circumference to find the best fit, considering you might wear layers underneath.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. Use a colored wash at 40°C. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or tumble drying. It is best to air dry the jacket.
Are the zippers waterproof?
Yes, the jacket features waterproof zippers, including the main front closure and pocket zippers, to ensure water does not penetrate through these critical points.
What does the EN 343 certification mean?
EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. Certification class 3/3 indicates the highest level of protection for both water penetration and breathability according to this standard.
Can I detach the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable. It is also lined and features an adjustable drawstring for a snug fit.
What materials is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 87% polyamide and 13% elastane, providing a durable, waterproof, and stretchable fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the seams.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If the jacket is old or has experienced heavy wear, the seam tape may be compromised. For minor issues, check care instructions; improper washing can affect seals. Contact customer support if damage is evident.
The zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track. Ensure the internal storm flap is not caught in the zipper.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.
Check if the fabric's breathable membrane is blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions (40°C colored wash, no bleach, do not tumble dry). Ensure no fabric softener was used, as it can impair breathability.
Hood drawstring is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the drawstring is not tangled or knotted. Check the stopper mechanism for damage or obstruction. Gently work the drawstring back and forth to loosen it if it feels stiff.
Reflectors are peeling or damaged.
Reflectors can degrade over time with extensive washing or abrasion. Avoid ironing directly on the reflectors. If they are significantly damaged, their visibility function is impaired, and replacement may be necessary.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof, windproof, and stretch properties, follow these care guidelines:
