FAQs
What does '3-layer softshell' mean?
A 3-layer softshell typically consists of an outer protective layer (e.g., polyester), a waterproof-breathable membrane in the middle (like TPU), and an inner insulating layer (e.g., micro-fleece). This construction provides weather protection, breathability, and comfort in a single garment.
Is this jacket fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is water-repellent with a rating of 5000 mm. This means it can withstand moderate rain but is not fully waterproof like a heavy-duty rain suit designed for prolonged heavy downpours.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket has an inner micro-fleece lining for warmth and meets standards for protection against cold. For very cold temperatures, layering with additional insulated garments underneath is recommended.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The fit can be adjusted using the hook-and-loop fasteners on the cuffs to tighten them around your wrists and by pulling the elastic drawcord at the bottom hem to cinch the jacket closer to your body.
What are the washing instructions?
Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What standards does this jacket meet?
It meets EN ISO 13688:2013 (General requirements for protective clothing) and EN 14058:2017 (Clothing for protection against cold).
Is the hood permanently attached?
No, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it for a different look or when not needed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer water-repellent
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel, following the product instructions. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat when washing and drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Breathability seems reduced
Ensure the inner lining is clean and free of debris. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Excessive dirt or residue can block the micro-pores responsible for breathability.
Hood detachment mechanism is faulty
Inspect the zipper or snaps connecting the hood for damage or obstruction. Clean any debris. If the mechanism is damaged, contact the manufacturer for potential repair or replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult use. While listed as male, its XXXL size is intended for a larger build. It meets EN ISO 13688:2013 (General requirements for protective clothing) and EN 14058:2017 (Clothing for protection against cold) standards, indicating its suitability for various professional and casual outdoor applications where protection from cold, wind, and light moisture is required.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle or normal cycle.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid high heat.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the fabric's membrane and water-repellent treatment.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. Chemicals used in dry cleaning can degrade the fabric's performance.
- Maintenance: To maintain water-repellency, consider using a specific technical wash or re-proofing spray designed for softshell or waterproof-breathable fabrics periodically, following the product's instructions.
