FAQs

What does 'Isotex 5000' mean?

Isotex 5000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '5000' rating indicates it can withstand 5000mm of water pressure and allows 5000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through, meaning it's suitable for moderate rain and activity.

Can this jacket be worn in winter?

The jacket itself is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. For winter, it can serve as a waterproof outer shell when worn over insulating layers like a fleece or down jacket.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the chest size guide provided: S - 37-38 inches, M - 39-40 inches, L - 41-42 inches, XL - 43-44 inches, 2XL - 46-48 inches, 3XL - 49-51 inches. It's recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare.

Are the seams truly waterproof?

Yes, the jacket features taped seams, meaning the stitching lines are covered with a waterproof tape to prevent water ingress through the needle holes.

What type of pockets are included?

The jacket has two zipped chest pockets, two lower patch pockets with warm-lined side handwarmer access, and an internal mobile phone pocket.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 40°C on a delicate cycle with similar colors, close all fastenings. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low and iron on low heat. For best results, consider using a specialized technical wash and re-apply DWR treatment periodically.

Is there a hood, and is it adjustable?

Yes, the jacket features a concealed hood with adjusters, allowing you to achieve a snug fit to keep rain and wind out.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears to be leaking or is no longer waterproof.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation.

Internal lining feels damp after wearing.

This could be due to condensation if the jacket is not breathable enough for the activity level. Ensure all ventilation points (if any) are open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the jacket is clean, as dirt can clog pores and reduce breathability.

The hood adjuster is not tightening properly.

Check the cord and the toggle mechanism for any damage or blockages. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the toggle.
