FAQs
What is Isotex 30000?
Isotex 30000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '30000' rating indicates its high performance in terms of both water resistance and breathability, measured in grams per square meter per 24 hours.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof over time?
Proper washing with pure soap (no detergents or bleach) and thorough rinsing is key. After multiple washes, applying a DWR re-proofer will restore the water-repellent finish.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for waterproofing and breathability. For cold weather, layering with thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers is recommended.
What is the benefit of the VisionAlign Hood?
The VisionAlign Hood is designed to move with your head as you turn, providing an unobstructed field of vision, which is crucial for activities like hiking and climbing.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features water-repellent zips on the lower pockets, which offer good protection against rain. However, for complete submersion or prolonged heavy downpours, items stored in pockets should ideally be kept in a waterproof pouch.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The jacket has adjustable cuffs and an adjustable shock cord hem. Use these features to achieve a snug fit that seals out wind and rain.
What is the material of the lining?
The jacket has a mesh lining, with the sleeves featuring a 100% polyester taffeta lining (60 gsm).
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure all seams are intact. Wash the jacket using a pure soap and rinse thoroughly. Apply a DWR re-proofer according to the product instructions.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zips with a damp cloth and gently dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth of the zip.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow. Ensure you are not overheating and consider removing an inner layer if necessary.
Hood doesn't stay in place
Adjust the hood drawcords and ensure the VisionAlign hood is properly positioned. Check that the hood adjusters are tightened.
