🧺 Care

No fabric softener: it ruins the PU coating that makes the garment waterproof.
No chlorine bleach.
Do not iron over the reflective tapes.
Air dry; high heat deforms the padding and damages the coating.
💡 Tip: EN 343 has two numbers that mean different things: the first is resistance to water penetration and the second is water vapour resistance, i.e. how breathable it is. A garment with high waterproofing and low breathability keeps you dry from the rain but wet with sweat if you work hard. For tasks with a lot of movement, alternate this parka with the 306005 soft shell, which is much more breathable.
