FAQs

What is the waterproof and breathability rating?

The jacket has a 10K waterproof and 10K breathability rating, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 10,000g/m²/24hr of moisture vapor to pass through.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for wet weather and includes a fleece-lined collar for warmth. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal base and mid-layers underneath.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What does 'eco-friendly C0 DWR' mean?

C0 DWR refers to a water-repellent finish that does not contain perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional DWR treatments.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than cycling?

Yes, the jacket's features make it suitable for various outdoor activities where rain protection and visibility are needed, such as walking or running errands.

What are the pocket specifications?

The jacket features zipped chest and rear pockets for secure storage of personal items.

How does the relaxed fit affect layering?

The relaxed fit is designed to accommodate multiple layers underneath without feeling restrictive, allowing for adaptability to different temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The DWR (durable water repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside

Ensure the jacket is clean. Mud, sweat, and residue can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash according to care instructions. Check vents are clear of obstructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.

Reflective print is peeling or damaged

Avoid harsh washing or drying methods. If minor damage occurs, avoid further friction on the affected area. Significant damage may affect visibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for comfort in varied weather.
  • High visibility features significantly improve safety for cyclists.
  • Sustainable material choice with eco-friendly DWR coating.
  • Comfortable design with fleece-lined collar and ample ventilation.
  • Practical storage solutions with multiple zipped pockets.

Cons

  • Relaxed fit might not appeal to riders seeking a race-tight silhouette.
  • While water-repellent, it is a jacket and not a fully waterproof suit for extreme downpours.
  • Reflective elements are crucial for visibility and may be less prominent in non-hi-vis colourways.
  • Requires proper care to maintain DWR effectiveness and fabric breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Altura Nightvision Storm Jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult males and features a relaxed fit suitable for layering over standard cycling apparel. It is compatible with most cycling helmets, and its design does not interfere with standard handlebar or saddle positions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  3. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, periodically re-apply a DWR treatment (available from outdoor gear specialists) following the product's instructions. This is typically done after washing and drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid prolonged compression to maintain the fabric's integrity.
