FAQs

What does 8000mm waterproof mean?

A waterproof rating of 8000mm indicates the jacket can withstand the equivalent of 8000mm of water pressure applied to a square meter of fabric before it begins to leak. This is suitable for moderate rain.

What does 1000mvp breathability mean?

A breathability rating of 1000mvp (Moisture Vapor Transmission) means that 1000 grams of moisture vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. This allows perspiration to escape.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This is a softshell jacket, best suited for mild to cool weather as an outer layer or for colder weather when layered with insulating garments like fleece or down.

How do I clean and maintain the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on low heat. Avoid dry cleaning.

Is this jacket suitable for company branding?

Yes, this jacket is a popular choice for company uniforms and can accommodate logo applications.

What are the main materials used in this jacket?

The jacket is made from 94% polyester and 6% spandex, bonded with microfleece. The fabric weight is 320gsm.

Troubleshooting

Jacket does not feel waterproof.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and check for any visible damage to the fabric or seams. For sustained heavy rain, consider it best used as a mid-layer.

Jacket feels too warm or not breathable enough.

Open the main zipper and any pocket zippers for ventilation. The jacket is designed for a balance of waterproofness and breathability; for intense activity, consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer.

Fit is too loose or too tight.

Adjust the side elastic drawcord at the hem and the plastic tab adjusters on the cuffs to achieve a more secure and comfortable fit.
