FAQs

What is Isotex 10000?

Isotex 10000 is a technology that makes the fabric waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 10,000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through, keeping you dry from the outside and comfortable on the inside.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood on this jacket is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid biological detergents and bleach.

How do I maintain the jacket's waterproofing?

After washing, it is recommended to re-proof the jacket using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer to restore its water-repellent properties. Always follow the instructions on the re-proofer product.

What does 'Warmloft' filling mean?

Warmloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the warmth and loft of down but offers better performance when wet. It provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.

Are there reflective elements for safety?

Yes, the jacket features reflective trim to increase visibility in low-light conditions, which is beneficial for outdoor safety.

What sizes are available for the printed name label?

The printed name label feature is available for children's sizes up to Age 8.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof.

Ensure the DWR finish is active. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-proofer, following the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and teeth track.

Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.

Ensure all closures (zipper, cuffs, hem) are properly fastened to prevent heat loss and cold air entry. Consider layering additional warm clothing underneath during very cold conditions.

Jacket lining feels damp inside.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and grime can clog the fabric pores. If the issue persists after cleaning and re-proofing, the breathability might be compromised.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability (Isotex 10000) for reliable protection.

Cons
