FAQs
What does EN 343 certification mean?
EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing that protects against precipitation (rain and snow), wind, and cold. It indicates the garment’s level of water-resistance, breathability, and its ability to withstand exposure to weather.
How do I best care for my waterproof set?
Follow the specific care instructions: mild wash at 40°C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, iron at low temperature, and do not dry-clean. Proper care maintains the garment's waterproof and breathable properties.
Is this set suitable for very cold weather?
The set provides waterproof and windproof protection, which helps retain body heat. However, it is lightweight and features a mesh lining, making it ideal as an outer layer. For very cold conditions, layering additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.
What material is the set made from?
The set is constructed from 100% polyamide fabric, which is known for its strength, durability, and lightweight properties, weighing 130 g/m².
Can the hood be removed?
The description indicates an adjustable hood for reliable protection, suggesting it is integrated into the jacket design for maximum effectiveness against the elements.
What sizes are available?
The Snickers 8378 Waterproof Jacket Trouser Set is available in a wide range of sizes from XS to 3XL.
How is the set transported?
The complete jacket and trousers set is conveniently packed in a handy bag, making it easy to transport and store when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite being waterproof
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that closures (hood, cuffs, ankles) are tightened. Check for any visible damage to the fabric or seams. Re-ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions.
Reduced breathability
Clean the garment thoroughly following the care instructions. Sometimes, dirt or residue can clog the breathable membrane. Ensure the mesh lining is free from obstructions.
Fit is uncomfortable or too loose/tight
Utilize the adjustable hood, waist, cuffs, and ankle closures to achieve a personalized fit. Refer to the size chart to ensure you have selected the correct size.
Jacket or trousers feel stiff
This is a characteristic of the lightweight polyamide fabric. Ensure the garment is correctly laundered according to the care instructions, which may help soften the material slightly over time.
