FAQs
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates the fabric's waterproof rating. It can withstand a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning it's suitable for heavy rain, and has a breathability rating that allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter over 24 hours.
What is Thermo-Guard insulation?
Thermo-Guard is a synthetic insulation material that provides warmth without adding significant weight. The 140 GSM (grams per square meter) indicates a medium level of insulation, suitable for cool to cold conditions.
Can I add my own logo to this jacket?
Yes, the jacket features a concealed zip entrance in the lining specifically designed for easy embroidery access, allowing for customization with logos or badges.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket offers good warmth with its 140 GSM insulation and windproof features, making it suitable for typical cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal base and mid-layers is recommended.
How do I ensure the waterproof protection lasts?
Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing and drying. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to the outer fabric.
What does EN 343 Class 3:2 mean?
This is a European standard for protective clothing against bad weather. Class 3:2 indicates the highest level of water-penetrability resistance (Class 3) and a good level of water-vapour resistance (Class 2), meaning it's breathable.
Does the jacket have a removable hood?
The hood is concealed and adjustable, but not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the fabric care instructions have been followed. Re-waterproofing treatments may be necessary after prolonged use. Check that all seams are intact.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zip teeth gently with a toothbrush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip for smoother operation.
Jacket feels too warm
This is an insulated jacket designed for colder weather. For milder conditions, consider layering with lighter base layers or opting for a shell jacket without insulation. Ensure any ventilation options (like unzipping) are utilized.
Insulation feels uneven
After washing, gently shake the jacket to redistribute the wadding. Ensure it was dried correctly according to care instructions.
