FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology that allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in a 24-hour period, while also providing a waterproof barrier.
How warm is the Thermo-Guard insulation?
Thermo-Guard insulation provides substantial warmth without being excessively bulky, making it suitable for moderate to cool conditions. For very cold weather, layering is recommended.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 10000 fabric, combined with taped seams and a DWR finish, offers good protection against heavy rain. However, prolonged exposure to extreme downpours may eventually saturate the fabric.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on technical hood with a toggle adjuster, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection.
What materials are used in this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester, with polyester taffeta lining and polyester insulation. It is also made from recycled materials.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat setting or by ironing on a cool setting after washing. For a more robust reapplication, specific DWR sprays are available commercially.
What is the chest measurement for the XL size?
The XL size corresponds to a 44-inch chest measurement.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
Ensure the garment is not overly saturated. Check if the DWR finish needs reactivating by ironing on a cool setting (avoiding direct heat). Verify that the breathability of the Isotex 10000 is not compromised by excessive dirt or residue; consider washing as per care instructions.
Water is seeping through seams
Check if the taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, professional repair might be needed. Ensure the jacket has been washed and cared for correctly, as detergent buildup can affect performance.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or wax if necessary.
Reduced windproof effectiveness
Ensure all closures (zipper, stormflap, cuffs, hood) are properly fastened. The primary windproof protection comes from the Isotex membrane and sealed seams.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent waterproofing and breathability for all-weather comfort.

Cons
