FAQs
What does it mean that the set conforms to EN 343?
EN 343 is a European standard that certifies protective clothing against precipitation. Conforming to this standard means the set offers reliable protection against rain, wind, and provides a certain level of breathability.
How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?
Always ensure all closures (hood, cuffs, ankles) are fastened properly. Regularly clean the garment according to the care instructions to maintain the fabric's and seams' integrity and breathability.
Is this set suitable for very cold weather?
The set is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath the jacket and trousers.
What material is the set made of?
The set is constructed from 100% lightweight polyamide fabric, weighing 130 g/m², with a mesh lining for added comfort.
Can I machine dry the set?
No, the set should not be tumble dried. It should be hung to air dry to preserve its waterproof properties and material integrity.
How is the set packaged for transport?
The jacket and trousers come conveniently packed together in a handy bag, making it easy to store and transport.
What sizes are available?
The Snickers 8378 Waterproof Jacket Trouser Set is available in a wide range of sizes, from XS to 3XL.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all taped seams are intact and not damaged. If damage is present, professional repair may be needed. Follow washing instructions carefully to avoid compromising seam integrity.
Reduced breathability
Check that the mesh lining is clear of debris. Over time, dirt and residue can clog the fabric's pores. Clean the garment according to care instructions to restore breathability.
Fit is not secure despite adjustments
Ensure hook and loop closures on cuffs and ankles are clean and functioning correctly. Dirt can impede their effectiveness. Re-adjust the waist and hood for a tighter seal.
Jacket or trousers feel stiff
This can sometimes occur after washing or prolonged storage. Mild washing and air drying should help restore flexibility. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying.
