FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This is a hardshell jacket designed primarily for protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating garments (like fleece or down jackets) underneath to achieve adequate warmth.

Can I print a company logo on this jacket?

Yes, the jacket has a closure in the lining for transfer possibilities, and a print on the chest area is mentioned in the details. Consult with a professional printing service to ensure the logo application does not compromise the jacket's waterproof or breathable properties.

How do I reattach the hood?

The hood typically attaches via snaps or a zipper located around the collar. Align the hood with the corresponding attachment points on the jacket and secure it firmly. Refer to the jacket's specific design for exact attachment method.

What does 'Ret 8.5' mean regarding breathability?

Ret refers to the 'Resistance to Evaporative Heat Transfer'. A lower Ret value indicates better breathability. A Ret value of 8.5 is considered good, meaning the fabric allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape, keeping you drier from the inside during activity.

What is EN 343 certification?

EN 343 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for protective clothing against adverse weather (rain, wind, cold). Certification indicates the garment meets specific performance criteria for water penetration, water vapor resistance, and durability.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof features?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild, technical detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting without steam. Avoid dry cleaning.

What sizes are available for this jacket?

This jacket is available in a range of adult sizes. Please check the product listing or size chart for the specific available sizes, such as S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof/water beads off.

The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, preferably with a technical wash product designed for waterproof fabrics. This can help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If performance does not improve, consider applying a re-waterproofing spray.

Jacket feels damp inside despite not being rained on.

This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Check the care label and wash using a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Ensure the jacket is properly vented if zippers are present.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. Lubricate the zipper with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Hood attachment point is loose or damaged.

Inspect the snaps or zipper used for hood attachment. If the issue is minor, like a loose snap, it may be repairable with appropriate tools. For significant damage, contact customer support or a professional tailor for repair options.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed to integrate with other inner garment layers for enhanced thermal protection and moisture management. It features a closure in the lining for potential transfer branding.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high temperatures that can damage the fabric's performance.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low setting (maximum 110°C / 230°F). Do not use steam.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Maintenance: Follow the washing instructions to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. For best results, use a technical wash product designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane's pores and reduce breathability.
