FAQs

What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?

ISOTEX 20000 indicates that the fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure up to that level before leaking. It also refers to a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating good vapor permeability.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the ISOTEX 20000 fabric, combined with taped seams and a durable water-repellent finish, makes this jacket highly effective in heavy rain.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a delicate cycle at 40°C with liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

The frequency of re-proofing depends on the amount of use and how often the jacket is washed. It is recommended to re-proof when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Are the reflective trims effective in all conditions?

The 360-degree reflective trims are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions such as dawn, dusk, and night. They reflect light sources back towards the source, making the wearer more visible.

What is the purpose of the printed name label?

The printed name label, included for ages up to 8 years, helps identify the jacket if it is misplaced, particularly in busy environments like schools or group activities.

Is this jacket insulated?

No, this is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and breathable protection. It is not insulated, making it suitable for layering over other clothing in colder weather.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Re-apply a suitable DWR (durable water-repellent) spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions. Check that all seams are intact.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Child feels warm and damp inside

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can clog pores. Check that the child is not wearing excessively warm layers underneath for the current conditions. Consider if the temperature requires a less waterproof or more breathable garment.
