FAQs
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The main body of the jacket is constructed from 100% nylon rip-stop fabric.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a chemical-free water-repellent finish, which means it can resist light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof.
How should I care for the jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash cold with like colours, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean. Following these steps will help preserve the fabric and water-repellent finish.
Are there pockets for storing items?
Yes, the jacket has an internal pocket for secure storage.
Does the jacket offer visibility in low light?
Yes, it includes reflective Makita branding to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
What does 'rip-stop' fabric mean?
Rip-stop fabric is a weaving technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. Interwoven reinforcing threads are used at regular intervals.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket provides insulation suitable for cooler temperatures, but for very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it with additional thermal wear.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The chemical-free water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Consider using a suitable re-proofing spray designed for technical outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-applying any treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Inspect the YKK zip for any fabric snags or debris. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil lead to the teeth to improve smooth operation.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
While the jacket includes stretch panels, ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart and consider layering with thinner base layers rather than bulky ones. The adjustable hem can also be loosened for more room.
