FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric has a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm (waterproof rating) and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection, but it is a shell layer. For very cold weather, you will need to wear insulating layers underneath.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer, which lists UK sizes with corresponding measurements (e.g., 8 UK: 32 in). It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it to the chart.
Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
What kind of pockets does it have?
The jacket features two zipped side pockets and one inner pocket for secure storage.
Does the hood offer good adjustability?
Yes, the hood is a grown-on technical hood with a toggle adjuster and a wired peak, allowing you to customize the fit and improve visibility.
How should I care for the waterproof finish?
To maintain the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on a low heat after washing. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically as needed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not beading water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a specific DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's guidelines.
Water is leaking through seams.
Check if the seams are properly taped. If the tape appears damaged, contact customer support. Ensure all zips and closures are fully fastened as an initial step.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
This can indicate high internal moisture buildup. Ensure the main zipper is partially open for ventilation. Check that the breathable membrane is not clogged by dirt; clean the jacket if necessary.
Zips are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zip teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax specifically designed for zippers. Avoid using excessive force.
