FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric is waterproof to 10,000mm and breathable to 10,000g/m²/24hrs, providing good protection against rain and allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy snow?
While it offers good waterproofing, its primary design is for rain. For heavy snow conditions, layering with insulated garments underneath would be necessary for warmth.
How do I re-apply the DWR finish?
You can use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment available from outdoor gear retailers. Follow the product's instructions for application, which usually involves washing the garment and then applying the treatment.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can clog the pores of the waterproof and breathable membrane, reducing its effectiveness.
What is the purpose of the adjustable hem and shockcord?
These features allow you to cinch the bottom of the jacket tighter, preventing wind and rain from entering from below and helping to trap body heat.
Where is the inner pocket located?
The jacket features one inner pocket, typically designed for securely storing valuables like a phone or wallet.
What is the GSM of the fabric?
The fabric weight is 110gsm (grams per square meter), indicating a lightweight material suitable for active use and layering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Re-apply Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment if the fabric is no longer beading water effectively. Check that zippers are fully closed.
Reduced breathability
Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions. Sometimes dirt and residue can block the microporous membrane, reducing breathability. Ensure the mesh lining is free from debris.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Hood is not staying in place
Ensure the toggle adjuster on the hood is tightened correctly. If the hood is permanently attached, check for any damage to the attachment points.
