FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. It means the fabric provides a hydrostatic head of 10000mm (waterproofness) and allows 10000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through (breathability).
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating garments like fleece or down to provide warmth.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Please refer to the size chart provided in the product description. For this jacket, size XS corresponds to a chest measurement of 36 inches.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is packaway and can be tucked into the collar. It is not designed to be fully detached.
How often should I re-apply waterproofing treatment?
This depends on usage and washing frequency. It is generally recommended to re-apply a DWR treatment every few washes or when you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric surface.
What is the difference between this jacket and a shell jacket?
This jacket functions as a waterproof and breathable shell layer. Shell jackets are typically designed to protect against wind and rain, often with features like adjustable hoods and cuffs, similar to this model.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a liquid detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment, following the product instructions.
Water seeping through seams
Ensure the taped seams are intact. If they appear to be peeling or damaged, contact customer support. Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried correctly.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being waterproof
This could be due to insufficient breathability, especially during high exertion. Ensure the jacket's vents (if any) are open and that you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from the skin.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a little soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax crayon to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. It is compatible with most casual and outdoor attire. To maintain its performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colours.
- Detergent: Use a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent or bleach.
- Fabric Softener: Do not use fabric softener, as it can impair the waterproof and breathable properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat.
- Re-waterproofing: For best results, re-apply a water-repellent finish after several washes, following the product instructions for the re-waterproofing agent.
