FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?
The jacket features a fleece lining for warmth and is windproof, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, layering with additional insulated clothing is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. Measure your chest and waist circumference and compare it with the jacket's measurements. The jacket has an adjustable drawstring at the waist for a more personalized fit.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy downpours?
The jacket is water-repellent, which means it can withstand light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.
What does 'ergonomically shaped sleeves' mean?
Ergonomically shaped sleeves are designed to follow the natural curve of the arm, allowing for a greater range of motion and comfort, especially during physical activities.
Are the reflectors visible at night?
Yes, the reflectors are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, including during the night, by reflecting light from external sources like headlights.
What is the fabric made of?
The jacket is made from 97% polyester and 3% elastane, providing durability, flexibility, and technical performance.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C (colored wash). Ensure zippers are closed and hook and loop bands are fastened before washing.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth. Close and open the zipper repeatedly to smooth its action.
Jacket feels damp after activity despite being water-repellent.
The jacket is designed to be water-repellent, not fully waterproof. Heavy rain or prolonged exposure may lead to some moisture penetration. Also, ensure the jacket is properly aired out after use to allow internal moisture from perspiration to escape.
Loose threads or seams appearing.
Trim any loose threads carefully with scissors. If seams are visibly unraveling, professional repair may be needed to maintain the jacket's integrity and protective qualities.
Fleece lining feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fabric's technical properties. Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature and detergent type.
