FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
It is designed as a technical hiking shell. While it offers excellent waterproof protection, it does not provide thermal insulation, so you should pair it with appropriate mid-layers.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry the jacket. Check the care label on your specific garment, but avoid high heat which can damage the taped seams.
Does the jacket come with a hood?
Yes, it features a technical hood with an integrated drawcord for a secure, adjustable fit.
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
This is a measure of the fabric's performance, indicating that it is highly waterproof (up to 15,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathable, suitable for heavy rain.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a specialized technical cleaner in a gentle machine wash, then air dry to maintain the integrity of the breathable membrane.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket follows a regular fit, but the articulated sleeves are designed for mobility. Ensure you choose your standard size based on the manufacturer's measurement guide.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off. Re-apply a technical reproofing spray and heat-activate according to the product instructions.
Internal moisture buildup during intense activity
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton, and utilize the adjusters to increase airflow if the weather permits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always zip up all pockets and fasten the hood drawcord before laundering. Machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner; avoid traditional detergents and fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproofing. For care, hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. To maintain the water-repellent finish (DWR), re-apply a technical waterproofing spray after multiple washes once the water no longer beads off the surface.
