FAQs
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 signifies that the fabric is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 10000mm and breathable to 10000g/m²/24hrs, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain and active use.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent weather protection but is not insulated. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warmer clothing like fleece or insulated jackets.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. For best results, re-proof periodically with a suitable spray.
Can I wear a backpack with this jacket?
Yes, the jacket's design accommodates wearing a backpack. The durable polyester material offers some resistance to abrasion from backpack straps.
What is the purpose of the adjustable hem and cuffs?
The adjustable hem with a shockcord and the adjustable cuffs help to seal out wind and rain, preventing drafts and keeping you warmer and drier.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester with a mesh lining.
Where is the inner pocket located?
The inner pocket is located inside the jacket, providing a secure and dry place for valuables.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the jacket.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the outer fabric's Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is still effective. If the DWR has worn off, consider applying a re-waterproofing spray. Check that zippers are fully closed and that cuffs and hem are tightened.
The jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Check for blockages in the mesh lining or the main fabric. Ensure you are not overheating by removing unnecessary layers. If the DWR finish is contaminated or worn, it can affect breathability; clean and re-proof if necessary.
The zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Hood adjustment toggles are loose.
Inspect the toggles and shockcord for damage. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacing. Ensure the toggle mechanism itself is functioning correctly.
