FAQs
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 is a membrane technology that provides a balance of waterproofing (10000mm rating), windproofing, and breathability (10000g/m²/24hrs rating) for outdoor apparel.
How do I know my UK size?
The jacket sizes are listed in UK inches. For example, a size 6 UK corresponds to 30 inches, a size 8 UK to 32 inches, and so on. You may need to convert these measurements to your local sizing standard.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a grown-on technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for wet and windy conditions. For colder weather, it is best worn as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. It is recommended to reapply a DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that the stitching lines on the inside of the garment have been sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water from leaking through the needle holes.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The side pockets have zips, which help to protect the contents from light rain. For full waterproofing, it is best to use the inner pocket or a waterproof dry bag for sensitive items.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the DWR finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if performance has diminished. Check that all zips are fully closed.
Hood is not staying in place
Adjust the toggle adjuster on the hood and ensure the drawcords are tightened correctly. Check the wired peak is positioned appropriately.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur if the jacket is heavily layered or if the internal moisture cannot escape quickly enough. Ensure the front zip is partially open for ventilation. Consider wearing lighter base layers.
