FAQs

What does 'Isotex 30000' mean?

Isotex 30000 indicates a high level of waterproof and breathable performance. The '30000' refers to the breathability rating in grams per square meter per 24 hours (g/m²/24h), meaning the fabric allows 30,000g of water vapor to pass through it in that timeframe, ensuring comfort during exertion.

Are the seams truly waterproof?

Yes, the jacket features taped seams. This means that every stitch line is covered with a waterproof tape, preventing water from seeping through the needle holes.

Can this jacket be used in very cold weather?

The jacket itself is designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For cold weather, you will need to layer appropriate insulating garments underneath, such as fleece or down jackets, to maintain warmth.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent, close all zips, and wash with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with an old tennis ball.

What is the benefit of the underarm ventilation zips?

These zips allow you to open sections under the arms to increase airflow and regulate your body temperature during high-intensity activities, preventing overheating without needing to remove the jacket.

How should I maintain the water repellency?

After washing and drying, or when water no longer beads on the surface, re-proof the jacket using a water repellent spray or a wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.

Is this jacket suitable for women of all ages?

Yes, the jacket is designed for adult women and its technical features are beneficial for anyone engaged in outdoor activities, regardless of age, provided they fit the size requirements.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to re-proof the jacket using a suitable water repellent product.

Water ingress through zippers

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. If the issue persists, the water repellent coating on the zipper may need reapplication or the zipper tape may be damaged.

Overheating during activity

Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow. Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem to allow for better ventilation. Consider layering with lighter base layers.

Jacket feels stiff or loses flexibility

Check care label for washing instructions. Ensure fabric softener was not used, as this can degrade waterproof membranes. Re-proof if necessary.
