FAQs
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. It means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and has a breathability rating that allows water vapor to pass through.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Matt II jacket is primarily designed for wet and windy conditions. While it can be layered for warmth, it is not an insulated jacket and may not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold on its own.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners and ensure it is rinsed thoroughly.
How do I reactivate the DWR finish?
A low heat tumble dry can often reactivate the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish. If it doesn't work, you may need to reapply a DWR treatment.
What is the purpose of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining enhances breathability and ventilation. It helps to wick moisture away from the skin and allows air to circulate, keeping you more comfortable during physical activity.
Does the hood pack away?
Yes, the jacket features a packaway hood with adjusters, meaning it can be neatly stored within the collar when not in use.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The lower pockets are zipped for security, helping to keep contents dry from light splashes or rain. However, the primary waterproof protection comes from the jacket's fabric and taped seams.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting. If this doesn't help, use a specific re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product instructions.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or detergent residue, which can clog the membrane. Check that vents or pockets are not obstructed. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and then apply a wax-based lubricant (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, its primary compatibility is with outdoor activities and layering over other garments. It is suitable for use in wet and windy conditions.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the waterproof and breathable membrane.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry away from direct heat sources. A low heat tumble dry can help reactivate the DWR finish.
- Re-waterproofing: If the DWR finish appears to be wearing off (water no longer beads on the surface), apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
