FAQs

What does Isotex 10000 mean?

Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric is waterproof to 10,000mm and breathable to 10,000g/m²/24hrs, offering good protection against rain and allowing perspiration vapor to escape.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?

Wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a specialized liquid detergent for waterproof fabrics, and rinse twice. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

What is the benefit of taped seams?

Taped seams are sealed with a waterproof tape to prevent water from penetrating through the stitch holes, ensuring the jacket remains fully waterproof.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the technical hood is designed to be adjustable to provide a secure and comfortable fit, protecting you from wind and rain.

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

The jacket is best suited for outdoor activities like hiking, trekking, mountaineering, and any activity where protection from rain and wind is needed, with an emphasis on mobility.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then apply a new DWR treatment, such as Regatta Isotrak or Grangers, following the product instructions.

Reduced breathability or clammy feeling

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block pores. Wash with a technical fabric detergent and ensure all detergent is rinsed out. Check that vents are not obstructed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zipper to help it glide smoothly.
