FAQs

What does Isotex 10000 mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the jacket's performance rating. It means the fabric is waterproof to 10,000g/m²/24hrs and breathable to 10,000g/m²/24hrs, providing good protection from rain and allowing moisture vapor to escape.

How warm is the Warmloft filling?

Warmloft is a synthetic insulation designed to mimic the warmth and loft of down while remaining effective even when damp. It offers good warmth for its weight, suitable for general outdoor wear.

Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be waterproof with Isotex 10000 technology and taped seams, making it suitable for protection against moderate to heavy rain.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a grown-on hood that is lined with sherpa for extra warmth. While the hood itself isn't explicitly stated as adjustable with drawcords, the overall fit of the jacket can be secured with its adjustable cuffs and hem.

How do I care for the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

To maintain waterproofness, wash using a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low setting. Re-apply a DWR finish or use a reproofing spray after washing to restore water repellency.

Is the green color true to the image?

Color representation can vary slightly based on screen settings. However, the 'Green' color is generally a standard shade for outdoor wear.

Can I write my child's name on the jacket?

Yes, the jacket includes a printed name label, but this feature is available only for sizes up to age 8.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivation or re-application. Try tumble drying on a low heat or ironing on a low setting to reactivate the existing DWR. If this does not help, apply a specific re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor technical clothing.

Child feels cold even when wearing the jacket

Ensure all zippers and cuffs are fully fastened. The jacket provides insulation, but layering with appropriate base and mid-layers is recommended for very cold conditions. Check that the size is correct and not too restrictive, which can affect warmth.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any fabric. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specific zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper.

Jacket appears to be leaking water

Check if the seams are properly sealed. If the jacket has been washed extensively, the seam tape might be compromised. Ensure all zippers are fully closed, as zippers are not waterproof. For persistent leaks through seams, professional repair might be needed.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Tumble Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of balls to help restore loft to the filling. Remove promptly.
  4. Re-proofing: For continued water repellency, after washing and drying, you may need to iron on a low setting or tumble dry to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. For enhanced waterproofing, consider using a specific re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor technical clothing after several washes, following the product's instructions.
  5. Fasteners: Close all zips and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing.
