FAQs
What does Isotex 20000 mean?
Isotex 20000 refers to the hydrostatic head rating of the fabric, meaning it can withstand 20,000mm of water pressure before leaking. It also indicates a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24 hours, signifying good moisture vapor transfer.
How do I wash the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Wash using a non-biological liquid detergent at 40°C. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and tumble drying. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Re-activating the DWR finish via ironing or low tumble drying after washing is recommended.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. It features concealed adjusters for a customized fit.
What type of pockets does the jacket have?
It features 2 lower pockets with branded snap fastening, 1 zipped chest pocket, and 1 internal security pocket.
Can this jacket be used for heavy rain or trekking?
Yes, the Isotex 20000 fabric with taped seams provides excellent protection for heavy rain. It's suitable for trekking and other outdoor activities where reliable waterproofing is essential.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester stretch fabric (165gsm) with a mesh lining to the upper body and hood, and a taffeta lining to the lower body.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then either tumble dry on a low heat or iron on a low setting with a damp cloth to reactivate the DWR. For a more robust solution, consider applying a re-proofer spray.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed along the teeth or a silicone-based lubricant can help.
Fit feels too loose or baggy.
Utilize the adjustable shock cord waist to cinch the jacket in for a more fitted silhouette. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements, as some users find this model runs slightly large.
