FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. It means the fabric is waterproof to 10,000mm and breathable to 10,000g/m²/24hrs, offering good protection against rain and allowing moisture vapor to escape.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its water repellency?
Wash the jacket inside out at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Crucially, tumble dry on a low heat with towels to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
Yes, the Thermo-Guard insulation provides warmth. For extremely cold conditions, layering with additional thermal base and mid-layers is recommended.
What is the purpose of the grown-on hood?
The grown-on hood is permanently attached and features a toggle adjuster, allowing you to cinch it tighter around your face for enhanced protection against wind and rain.
Are there specific washing instructions for the pocket closures?
No specific instructions are given for pocket closures beyond the general washing guidelines. Ensure stud fastenings are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
Does the jacket have reflective elements for visibility?
The product description does not mention reflective elements. It features a plain design with a subtle logo.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting with old towels. If performance does not improve, consider applying a specific DWR treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels cold despite insulation.
Ensure the jacket is properly fastened and that cuffs are secured to prevent wind penetration. Check that the inner storm cuffs are correctly positioned.
