FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of the Isotex 10000 fabric?
Isotex 10000 means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period, indicating good waterproofing suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood has drawcords and toggles at the back and sides to allow you to tighten it around your face and head, and the peak can be adjusted for better visibility.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
While waterproof and windproof, this is primarily a shell jacket. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer it over insulated mid-layers and base layers.

What material is the jacket made from?

Yes, its waterproof and breathable properties make it suitable for various outdoor activities like trekking, camping, or even daily use in wet or windy weather.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through seams.
Ensure seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, consider reapplying a seam sealer or a waterproofing treatment to the entire garment.
Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.
This indicates reduced breathability. Wash the jacket following care instructions to clear any build-up of dirt or oils that may be blocking the membrane. Ensure you are using appropriate base layers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Avoid forcing the zipper.
