FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric is waterproof and breathable, with a rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs. This means it can withstand a 10,000mm hydrostatic head of water and allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the chest measurement guide: S (38 in.), M (40 in.), L (42 in.), XL (44 in.), XXL (48 in.), 3XL (51 in.). It's recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare it to the provided sizes. A slightly looser fit allows for layering underneath.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold temperatures?
The Thermo-Guard insulation provides good warmth. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers and mid-layers is recommended. The windproof and waterproof features are excellent for managing cold, damp conditions.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. It does feature a toggle adjuster for a closer fit around the face.
What type of detergent should I use for washing?
Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid biological detergents and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric's technical properties, particularly the waterproof and breathable membranes.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing frequency depends on usage and washing. If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, it's time to re-proof. This is typically recommended every few washes or when performance diminishes.
What are the pocket details?
The jacket features two lower pockets with flap and stud fastening, two handwarmer pockets behind the lower pockets, and one internal pocket for secure storage of valuables.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Wash the jacket using a specific technical wash and re-apply a fabric re-proofer as per the product instructions. Ensure all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels cold despite insulation
Verify that the jacket is fully zipped and the stormflap is engaged. Ensure the cuffs are properly secured to prevent drafts. Check that the correct base layers are being worn for the temperature.
Reduced breathability causing condensation inside
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric pores. Make sure you are not wearing excessive layers underneath that could trap moisture. Check the Isotex rating is sufficient for the conditions.
