WP 8,000mm refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating the fabric can withstand 8,000mm of water pressure before it leaks. MVP 3,000g/m2/24hr refers to the Moisture Vapor Transmission rate, indicating how much water vapor can pass through the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying its breathability.
The jacket is extremely water-resistant and waterproof to 8,000mm. While it offers excellent protection against rain, it is classified as water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, meaning it's ideal for most weather conditions but may not be suitable for prolonged immersion or heavy torrential rain.
The jacket is a softshell designed for protection against wind and moderate weather. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down to provide adequate warmth.
The reflective trim should be treated gently during washing. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the trim. Follow the general washcare instructions, and avoid ironing directly on the reflective elements.
ActiReach™ is a design feature that focuses on the armhole construction to provide superior freedom of movement, particularly when reaching overhead. It ensures the garment does not lift or restrict movement during dynamic tasks.
The 'extremely water resistant eco-conscious fabric finish' can be maintained by washing the jacket with a liquid detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. For best results, periodically use a specialized fabric re-proofer after washing, following the product's guidelines.
The CorePro™ Armour panels are integrated into the garment for abrasion resistance and are not designed to be removed.
The eco-conscious fabric finish may need re-activation or re-application. Wash the garment according to care instructions and then apply a suitable fabric re-proofer, following the re-proofer's instructions.
Ensure the garment is clean. Dirt and residues can clog the fabric pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check that the laser-cut ventilation holes are not obstructed.
Ensure the zip pullers and teeth are clean and free from debris. Gently clean with a damp cloth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Confirm you have selected the correct size. Ensure any layers worn underneath are not too bulky and are also designed for ease of movement.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The jacket features easy-grip pullers on all zips for simple operation.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear. It can be layered over base or mid-layers for additional warmth, depending on the external temperature and activity level.
Care Instructions: To maintain the water-resistant properties and fabric integrity:
