FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric has a hydrostatic head (waterproof rating) of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs. This means it can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high before leaking and allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided, which lists UK chest sizes and corresponding inch measurements. It's recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare it with the provided chart for the best fit.
Can this jacket be worn in winter?
Yes, the jacket provides good windproof and waterproof protection, making it suitable for layering in winter. For colder conditions, add a warm insulating layer underneath.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
How do I maintain the water repellency?
After washing, you can restore the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by tumble drying on a low heat or using a specialized re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.
What is the purpose of the wired peak on the hood?
The wired peak helps to keep the hood's shape and directs water away from your face, improving visibility and protection in heavy rain.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The side pockets feature zip closures, which offer good protection against light rain and splashes. However, they are not designed to be fully submersible. The inner pocket provides an additional layer of protection for valuables.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through seams.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and sealed. If the issue persists, the DWR finish may need reapplication.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur if the breathability is exceeded by high exertion levels or if inner layers are not wicking moisture effectively. Ensure the full zip is used for ventilation if needed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently run a graphite pencil tip or wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
