FAQs

What level of chainsaw protection does this jacket offer?

This jacket offers Class 1 (20 m/s) protection, meaning it complies with EN381-5 standards for protection against chainsaw contact at speeds up to 20 meters per second.

How should I wash this jacket to maintain its protective qualities?

Wash dirty protective gear with a mild detergent. It is crucial NOT to tumble dry the jacket, as this can compromise its protective performance. Always drip dry in a well-ventilated area.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made of durable two-way stretch polyester, reinforced with aramid and Cordura for added strength and abrasion resistance.

Is this jacket suitable for all types of forestry work?

This jacket is specifically developed for professionals requiring Class 1 chainsaw protection. While suitable for many forestry tasks, its primary design is for environments where chainsaw use is prevalent.

How can I ensure the best fit?

The jacket features Velcro fastenings at the wrists and a drawstring waistband, allowing you to adjust the fit for optimal comfort and security. Refer to the size chart for height and chest circumference guidance (for Size M: Height 176-182 cm, Chest Circumference: 100-108 cm).

What makes this jacket highly visible?

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive during movement

Verify you have selected the correct size. Ensure the Velcro wrist fastenings and drawstring waistband are adjusted for comfort and freedom of movement.

Reduced visibility in low light

Ensure reflective elements and fluorescent material are clean. Dirt and debris can significantly reduce their effectiveness. Follow care instructions for proper cleaning.

Wear and tear on specific areas

The jacket features reinforcements in high-stress zones. If excessive wear is observed elsewhere, inspect the specific tasks performed and ensure appropriate usage. For significant damage, consider replacement.
