FAQs

What is Isotex 15000?

Isotex 15000 is a fabric technology that provides a high level of waterproofing (15000mm rating), breathability (15000g/m²/24hrs rating), and windproof protection, suitable for active outdoor use.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

The jacket offers excellent protection against wind and rain but is not heavily insulated. It is designed to be layered over warmer clothing for cold weather conditions.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent or technical wash. Do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid dry cleaning.

Can I use this jacket for strenuous activities?

Yes, the articulated sleeves, stretch fabric, and breathability features are designed to allow for unrestricted movement and comfort during activities like hiking and walking.

What does 'Made from Recycled Materials' mean?

This indicates that a portion of the jacket's materials have been sourced from recycled content, contributing to environmental sustainability.

What are the pocket configurations?

The jacket features 1 chest pocket, 2 side pockets, and 1 internal security pocket, offering convenient and secure storage options.

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

The fit can be customized using the toggle adjuster on the grown-on technical hood and the shockcord hem. The cuffs are also adjustable.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as waterproof as expected.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and the DWR finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if it has worn off. Check that the main zipper and pocket zippers are fully closed and the inner zip guard is positioned correctly.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is not over-layered for the conditions. Check that the DWR finish is not clogged with dirt or residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions with a technical cleaner.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zippers with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax to the teeth of the zipper.

Hood or hem adjustments are not holding.

Ensure the shockcords are clean and free from debris. Check that the toggles are properly secured. If the elastic cord is worn, it may need replacement.
