FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Isotex stretch 20000 fabric?

The Isotex stretch 20000 fabric provides a high level of waterproofing and breathability while also offering stretch for enhanced comfort and freedom of movement during activity.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical wash. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Re-proofing may be necessary periodically.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell. For very cold weather, you will need to layer insulating clothing underneath it.

What does 'articulated sleeves' mean for the wearer?

Articulated sleeves are shaped and constructed to allow for a greater range of motion in the arms and shoulders, preventing restriction during activities like climbing or hiking.

How do I ensure the hood provides adequate protection?

The grown-on technical hood has adjusters that allow you to tighten it around your face for a secure fit, effectively blocking wind and rain.

Is the jacket suitable for light rain as well as heavy downpours?

Yes, the jacket's fully waterproof construction and taped seams provide protection in a range of wet conditions, from light drizzles to heavy downpours.

What should I do if the jacket's water repellency decreases?

The water repellency can be restored by cleaning the jacket and then applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product as per the product's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof, water is soaking into the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.

Jacket feels damp inside, even in dry conditions.

This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean and free from dirt or detergent residue, which can block pores. Wash with a technical cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to improve movement.

Hood adjustment toggles are loose.

Check the shock cord for damage. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacing. Ensure the toggles are properly seated on the cord.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash product. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergents.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a tennis ball to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Alternatively, hang to dry.
