FAQs

What does EN 343:2019 Class 3,4 mean?

This certification indicates the highest level of protection against rain and water penetration (Class 3) and high breathability (Class 4) according to the European standard for protective clothing against rain.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

How do I care for the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and can also be adjusted with an elastic drawcord for a secure fit.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from fleece for the interior collar lining, with the outer shell providing waterproof and windproof protection.

Are there pockets for essentials?

Yes, the jacket features hand pockets with YKK® zippers and a chest pocket with a YKK® zipper for secure storage.

Does this jacket have reflective elements?

Yes, the jacket includes reflective details to enhance visibility in low-light working environments.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully waterproof after cleaning

Ensure DWR treatment is reapplied as per product instructions. Check seams for any damage.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper track with water and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.

Hood is not staying in place

Adjust the elastic drawcord for a tighter fit. Ensure the hood is properly attached if detachable.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash with a technical garment cleaner and reapply DWR treatment if necessary.
