Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with ISOTEX 20000 waterproof fabric and features taped seams to ensure complete protection in rain.

Can I wash the jacket in a standard machine?

Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a dedicated technical cleaner and avoid softeners or bleach.

What does the wire peak on the hood do?

The integrated wire allows you to shape the hood peak so it holds its position, shielding your face from wind and rain more effectively than a fabric-only hood.

Is the insulation heavy?

The THERMOGUARD insulation is designed to be high-loft and lightweight, providing excellent warmth without the heavy bulk of traditional down or older synthetic fillings.

How do I reactivate the water-repellent finish?

If water stops beading on the surface, clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR waterproofing spray, then allow it to air dry or tumble dry on low per the care label.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the garment and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.

Condensation building up inside the jacket during heavy exertion

While breathable, the jacket can reach its limit during high-intensity activity. Try loosening the front zip or adjusting cuffs to increase ventilation.

Hood keeps falling forward in strong wind

Ensure the rear and side adjusters are pulled tight and shape the internal wire peak into a slight curve to increase structural rigidity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance ISOTEX 20000 waterproof rating
  • Effective THERMOGUARD insulation for winter warmth
  • Longer length provides extra weather coverage
  • Technical wire-peaked hood for superior face protection
  • Multiple secure zippered storage pockets

Cons

  • Longer fit may not suit every body type for high-intensity climbing
  • Not intended for extreme mountain-peak expeditions
  • Requires proper garment care to maintain DWR finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains waterproof and effective, proper maintenance is essential:

  1. Washing: Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof gear. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR finish and block the breathable pores of the membrane.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the water-repellent coating begins to fail, tumble dry on a low setting or follow the manufacturer's label to reactivate the factory DWR treatment.
  3. Compatibility: The jacket works well with base layers and light fleeces. The adjustable cuffs ensure that you can seal the jacket over or under gloves, depending on your preference for preventing water runoff from your arms.
