FAQs

What is Isotex 15000?

Isotex 15000 is a membrane technology that provides a waterproof and breathable rating of 15,000mm hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and 10,000g/m²/24hr (breathability).

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?

The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind but is not heavily insulated. For very cold conditions, layering with warm mid-layers like fleece or down is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.

Can I replace the hood?

The hood is detachable. While it cannot be replaced with a different model, it can be removed for cleaning or if not needed. Ensure it is reattached correctly by aligning the zipper and fastenings.

What does the DWR finish do?

DWR stands for Durable Water-Repellent. It's a special coating applied to the outer fabric that makes water bead up and roll off, helping to keep the jacket dry and maintain its breathability.

How do I adjust the hem and cuffs?

The cuffs have adjustable tabs, typically with Velcro, to tighten them around your wrists. The hem has an elasticated drawcord that can be pulled to cinch the bottom of the jacket, locking out drafts.

Is the jacket made from recycled materials?

Yes, the reinforced fabric of this jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to environmental sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof or is leaking.

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable DWR treatment. Ensure all seams are intact; if seams are damaged, professional repair may be needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash according to care instructions. Check that any internal pockets or layers are not obstructing ventilation.

Hood adjustment cord is loose or not holding.

Check the cord lock mechanism for damage. Ensure the cord is properly threaded through the lock. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting it to your body for optimal fit. Ensure the zippers are fully engaged before closing.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not iron.
  • Re-proofing: For sustained water repellency, consider using a re-proofing spray suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics periodically, following the product's instructions.
