FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 indicates that the fabric has a hydrostatic head (waterproof rating) of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs. This signifies high levels of waterproofing and breathability.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided in the product details. UK sizes correspond to specific chest inch measurements. For example, UK Size 10 is for a 34-inch chest.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For cold weather, layering with insulated clothing underneath is recommended.
How do I clean the water-repellent zip pocket?
The water-repellent zip pocket is designed to protect contents from light moisture. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the zipper is properly closed.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a grown-on technical hood and is not designed to be removed.
What is the environmental impact of this jacket?
This garment is sustainably made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to reduced waste and environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment. Ensure seams are intact.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Residue from detergents or dirt can impede breathability. Wash with a performance wash and rinse thoroughly. Check that any internal vents are not blocked.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the zipper area is clean and free of debris. Apply a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track for smoother operation.
