FAQs
What material is the Mandal Rain Jacket made from?
The jacket is made from highly durable 410 grams PVC fabric.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
While it provides waterproof protection, the PVC material may become less flexible in extreme cold. It is best suited for wet conditions rather than extreme cold.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash it in lukewarm water at 40°C. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What does EN 343 3,1 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the jacket meets European standards for protective clothing against rain and adverse weather, with level 3 for water permeability and level 1 for water vapor resistance.
Does the hood offer good protection?
Yes, the hood features drawcord adjustment for a secure fit and is designed to provide ample coverage against rain.
Can I wear a thick layer underneath?
Yes, the jacket is designed as outerwear and can accommodate layers underneath for added warmth, although breathability might be limited.
What is the main advantage of the double storm flap?
The double storm flap provides an extra barrier to prevent rain from entering the jacket through the front closure, enhancing its waterproof performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Inspect seams and fabric for any tears or damage. Ensure the storm flap is correctly fastened. If the issue persists, the jacket may have reached the end of its waterproof lifespan or sustained damage.
Hood adjustment is difficult
Ensure the drawcord is clean and free of debris. Gently pull and adjust the cord to fit your head securely. If the cord is frayed, consider replacement.
Pockets are not keeping items dry
Ensure pocket flaps are fully closed and covering the pocket opening. Check that items placed inside are not larger than the pocket's capacity, which could prevent a proper seal.
Fabric feels stiff or less flexible
This can occur in colder temperatures. Allow the jacket to warm up to room temperature before wearing. Avoid prolonged storage in very cold conditions.
