Usage

  • Deploy the foldaway hood from the collar when additional protection from rain or wind is required; retract and secure the hood when not in use.
  • Ensure storm cuffs are correctly positioned inside the sleeves to minimise wind and water ingress at the wrists.
  • Use underarm vents (if they include opening/closing features) to regulate body temperature during periods of activity or warmer weather.
  • Store phone and other small essentials in the internal pocket and close any fastenings to keep them secure.
  • Wear the jacket with the high-visibility orange outer fully exposed and unobstructed whenever maximum visibility is required.
  • Follow the care label for laundering: machine wash up to 40 °C; do not use bleach; tumble-dry, ironing or dry-cleaning only as specified on the garment to preserve the PU coating and reflective performance.
  • Inspect regularly for signs of wear, damage or fading, particularly on reflective tape and hi-vis fabric, and replace if high-visibility or waterproof performance is compromised.

Contraindications

  • Not suitable as flame-retardant or arc-flash protective clothing; additional specialist PPE is required for those hazards.
  • Should not be used as chemical splash protection or for hazardous substances where dedicated chemical PPE is required.
  • Do not rely on the garment for high-visibility performance if it is heavily soiled, significantly faded, torn, or if reflective tapes are damaged.
  • Individuals with known sensitivities to synthetic fabrics, PU coatings or textile dyes should verify compatibility before prolonged use.

Adverse Effects

  • Potential for heat build-up or discomfort if worn in warm conditions or during intense physical activity, especially with limited ventilation.
  • Possible mild skin irritation in users who are sensitive to polyester, PU coatings, seam tapes or dyes used in high-visibility fabrics.
  • Reduced visibility if reflective elements are obstructed by bags, harnesses or other garments, or if the jacket is partially covered.
  • Loss of waterproofness or deterioration of reflective performance over time if care instructions are not followed or if the jacket is subjected to harsh detergents or high washing temperatures.

Storage Conditions

  • Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to reduce fading of hi-vis fabrics and degradation of reflective tape.
  • Hang the jacket on a suitable hanger when not in use to maintain its shape and prevent creasing of reflective strips.
  • Ensure the garment is clean and fully dry before long-term storage to prevent mildew, odour and deterioration of the PU coating.
  • Keep away from sharp objects and strong chemicals, oils or solvents that may damage the outer fabric, PU coating or reflective materials.
