FAQs
What does 'waterproof to 2000mm' mean?
This indicates the hydrostatic head rating. A 2000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a column of water 2000mm high before water starts to penetrate. It's suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
Is this coverall suitable for extreme cold?
The coverall features ThermoFort padding for warmth, making it suitable for cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering additional thermal clothing underneath is recommended.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the coverall at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
How do I adjust the hem and cuffs?
The hem and cuffs typically have internal drawcords or Velcro straps that can be tightened or loosened to achieve a secure and comfortable fit, sealing out drafts.
What material is the outer shell made of?
The outer shell is made of a hardwearing, PU coated Oxford nylon.
Is the reflective tape permanent?
The reflective tape and piping are designed for durability, but like all reflective elements, their effectiveness can diminish over time and with excessive washing. Follow care instructions to maximize longevity.
What is the purpose of the under-arm zips?
The zipped under-arm ventilation allows you to open small sections under the arms to release heat and improve airflow, helping to regulate your body temperature during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Coverall feels too warm
Open the zipped under-arm ventilation and adjust the hem and cuffs to allow for better airflow.
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all seams are intact. While taped, extreme wear can affect seal integrity. Check care instructions for washing to maintain fabric properties.
Zipper is stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Avoid excessive force.
Fit is uncomfortable
Adjust the hem and cuffs. If the overall fit is problematic, consider if the size is appropriate or if the XL variant would be more suitable.
