Its key benefit is the superior waterproofing and insulation provided by Isotex 10,000 fabric and Thermoguard insulation, keeping you warm and dry.

Key features include waterproof and windproof construction, breathable fabric, synthetic insulation, taped seams, a DWR finish, and stylish elements like peached fabric and oversized pockets.

FAQs

What is Isotex 10,000?

Isotex 10,000 is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technology. The '10,000' indicates its rating in terms of hydrostatic head (water pressure it can withstand) and breathability (grams of water vapor transmitted per square meter per 24 hours).

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash warm (40°C) with a mild liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Re-apply a DWR finish after washing.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?

Yes, the jacket features Thermoguard insulation and is designed for cold and wet weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.

Can I use this jacket in light rain?

Yes, the Isotex 10,000 fabric and DWR finish will provide excellent protection in light rain. It is designed for significant wet weather protection.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester, featuring Isotex 10,000 fabric and Thermoguard insulation.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The jacket itself is waterproof, but the pockets are typically designed for convenience and may not be fully submersible. It is advisable to protect sensitive items from heavy rain.

How should I re-apply the DWR finish?

You can use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment. Follow the specific product's instructions carefully for best results. This is usually done after washing and before drying.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Check that the Thermoguard insulation is not compacted. Ensure all zippers and closures are fully sealed to prevent heat loss. Consider wearing appropriate base and mid-layers.

Seams appear to be leaking.

While taped seams offer good protection, prolonged submersion or extreme pressure could lead to leaks. Ensure the jacket is properly cared for and the DWR is maintained. If leakage persists, contact customer support.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
