FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's performance rating. '15000' indicates a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours and a hydrostatic head (waterproof rating) of 15,000mm. This signifies a high level of waterproofing and good breathability.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features adjusters, typically drawcords or toggles, located around the hood opening or at the back. These can be tightened or loosened to customize the fit and ensure the wire peak sits correctly over your face.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The Hamara IV is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell jacket. While it offers some warmth due to its lining, it is not insulated. For very cold weather, layering with insulating mid-layers (like fleece or down) is recommended.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed to be water-resistant, especially with their zip closures, offering protection for items like a phone or wallet. However, they are not fully submersible, so it's advisable to use a waterproof pouch for critical items in heavy downpours.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams are strips of waterproof tape applied to the inside of the jacket's seams. They prevent water from penetrating through the needle holes created during the stitching process, ensuring the jacket remains completely waterproof.
How do I clean the wire peak on the hood?
The wire peak is integrated into the hood and does not require separate cleaning. Standard washing instructions for the jacket should be followed. The wire is designed to be durable and maintain its shape.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside despite dry conditions outside
While the jacket is breathable, intense physical activity can still lead to perspiration. Ensure zippers are open for ventilation when possible, and consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a wax or silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
