Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Insulatex lining?

The Insulatex lining is a heat-reflective material designed to reflect body heat back towards the wearer, ensuring maximum warmth and comfort in cold conditions.

How waterproof is this jacket?

The jacket meets EN 343 Class 3:1 standards, with a water penetration resistance of 15,000mm. It features taped seams and an extremely water-resistant fabric finish to prevent water from penetrating.

Can I wear work gloves with this jacket?

Yes, the Ezee zip front closure is specifically designed to be easy to fasten and unfasten even when wearing work gloves.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the jacket features a concealed detachable hood, offering flexibility depending on weather conditions and user preference.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The shell fabric is 100% Polyester 300D Oxford Weave with a PU coating (190g). The lining is 100% Polyester (60g), and the filling is 100% Polyester (170g).

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its water resistance?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Do not iron directly on reflective elements. Avoid dry cleaning.

What does 'Class 3:1' in the EN 343 standard mean?

EN 343 Class 3:1 indicates the highest level of protection against rain (Class 3) and the lowest level of resistance to water vapor (Class 1), meaning it is highly waterproof but may be less breathable than higher 'Class' ratings for vapor resistance.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket

Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Check the zipper is fully closed and the flap is secured. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment if the fabric finish has degraded.

Jacket feels too warm indoors

Remove the jacket when in a heated environment. For less extreme conditions, consider wearing only lighter base layers underneath or unzipping the front for ventilation.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush. If resistance persists, apply a silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax.

Reflective trim is peeling

Avoid high heat during drying and ironing. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to re-adhere it with heat. Consider professional repair if it significantly impacts visibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for comfort in wet conditions.
  • Superior warmth due to Insulatex lining and quilt insulation.
  • Enhanced safety with reflective trim for increased visibility.
  • User-friendly design with Ezee zip and ergonomic shaping.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding environments.
  • Versatile with a detachable hood for different weather needs.

Cons

  • May be too warm for moderate or mild weather conditions.
  • The specialized PU coating may require specific care to maintain its water-resistance.
  • While designed for functionality, the aesthetic is primarily workwear-oriented.
  • Requires proper storage to prevent material degradation over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. The jacket is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure all zippers and fastenings are engaged correctly for optimal performance.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as standalone outerwear. It can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for added insulation, depending on the ambient temperature and activity level.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, ensuring the iron does not touch any reflective elements directly.
  4. Cleaning Agents: Avoid dry cleaning or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the PU coating and waterproof membrane.
