FAQs

What is Isotex 30000?

Isotex 30000 is a performance fabric technology that provides high levels of waterproofing and breathability. The '30000' refers to its rating in grams per square meter per 24 hours for breathability, and it also indicates significant waterproof protection.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a liquid detergent. Rinse twice and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid bleach and powder detergents. Specific reproofing treatments can be applied after washing to restore water repellency.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base and mid-layers is recommended to add insulation.

What does 'Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish' mean?

A DWR finish is a coating applied to the outer surface of the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated and maintaining its breathability and comfort.

Can I wear a fleece under this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer shell and is compatible with wearing fleece or other insulating layers underneath for added warmth. The taffeta lining in the sleeves also aids in easy layering.

What is the VisionAlign Hood?

The VisionAlign Hood is a specific design feature that ensures the hood adjusts and moves with your head, providing an unobstructed field of vision while you are in motion. It includes adjusters for a secure fit.

Are the pocket zips truly waterproof?

The zips are described as 'water-repellent', meaning they offer significant protection against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is advisable to keep sensitive items in a waterproof bag within the pockets.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean and has been treated with a suitable re-proofer. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and rinse twice. Check that the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zip teeth to improve movement. Avoid using oily lubricants.

Breathability seems reduced

The jacket may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket using a liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly, preferably twice, to remove any build-up. Ensure all cleaning agents are completely washed out.

Hood adjustment is not effective

Ensure the adjusters on the hood are correctly positioned and tightened. Check for any obstructions around the hood or drawcords. The VisionAlign system is designed to work dynamically; ensure it is not restricted.
