FAQs
What does the Isotex 10000 rating mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates the fabric's performance rating: '10000' refers to 10,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and 10,000g/m²/24hrs for breathability. This means it can withstand the pressure of 10,000mm of water before it starts to seep through and allows 10,000g of water vapor to pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it does not have significant insulation. It is best suited for cool or mild weather, or for use in colder conditions when layered with warm mid-layers like fleece or down.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and similar colours. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and tumble drying. Do not iron or dry clean. Rinse thoroughly after washing.
Can I reapply the water-repellent finish myself?
Yes, you can reapply a DWR finish using spray or wash-in treatments designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the instructions on the DWR product carefully, and ensure the jacket is clean before application.
What is the benefit of the 'Packaway Hood' feature?
A packaway hood can be folded or rolled up and stored within the jacket's collar or a dedicated compartment. This keeps the hood out of the way when not needed, providing a cleaner look and preventing it from catching the wind.
What is the material composition of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% Recycled Polyester, with a mesh lining.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively
Re-apply a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to the outer fabric. Ensure the jacket is clean before application according to the DWR product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a pencil graphite to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Water seems to be leaking through seams
Check if the taped seams are intact. If any tape is peeling or damaged, professional repair may be needed to restore waterproofing.
Jacket feels clammy on the inside during activity
Ensure all vents (if applicable) and the main zipper are partially open to maximize breathability. Check that you are not overheating due to insufficient ventilation or excessive layering.
