The Isotex 30000 fabric offers a high level of waterproofing and breathability, ensuring you stay dry from external rain and comfortable by allowing perspiration vapor to escape.
The Freesdale jacket is designed for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating mid-layer beneath the jacket.
The jacket runs true to size with a regular fit. Refer to the provided size chart, which lists chest measurements (in inches) for each size (S: 37-38, M: 39-40, L: 41-42, XL: 43-44, XXL: 46-48) to find your best fit.
No, fabric softeners should not be used as they can clog the pores of the technical fabric and reduce its waterproof and breathable performance.
Taped seams mean that the stitching lines are covered with a waterproof tape, preventing water from penetrating through the needle holes, thus ensuring complete waterproof protection.
The wire peak itself does not require separate cleaning. Follow the general machine washing instructions for the jacket. The wire is designed to maintain its shape during washing and use.
The drainage channel is designed to direct water away from the main zipper, preventing it from seeping into the jacket and helping to maintain your dryness.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then re-proof using a suitable spray-on or wash-in re-proofer. Ensure you follow the re-proofer's specific application guidelines.
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. If the issue persists, the fabric may need re-proofing or has reached the end of its effective lifespan for extreme breathability.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Operate the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.
Check that the cords are properly threaded through the adjusters. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly. If the cord or lock is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
