FAQs

What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?

Isotex 15000 is a waterproof, breathable, and windproof membrane. The '15000' rating indicates it can withstand a water column of 15,000mm and allows 15,000g/m²/24hrs of moisture vapor to pass through, meaning it's highly effective at keeping you dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

While the jacket is windproof and waterproof, it is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

How do I reapply the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish?

You can reapply the DWR finish using a spray-on or wash-in product designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the product's instructions carefully, usually involving cleaning the garment and then applying the treatment.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, commuting, and general everyday use in wet or windy weather.

Can I wear a thick fleece underneath this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. Depending on the specific sizing, you can wear a fleece or other mid-layers underneath for added warmth.

What are the benefits of the articulated sleeves?

Articulated sleeves are pre-shaped to mimic the natural bend of your arm, allowing for greater freedom of movement and preventing the sleeves from riding up when you lift your arms.

Does the hood offer good protection?

The jacket features a grown-on hood with a toggle adjuster and a technical design, intended to provide good protection against wind and rain when properly adjusted.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through seams.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. If the issue persists, the DWR finish might need reapplication.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

Check that all vents and the main zip are open to allow for maximum breathability. Ensure you are not overheating due to excessive layering. The breathability rating is high, but extreme exertion can still lead to some moisture buildup.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
