FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathability rating. It means the fabric can withstand a water pressure of 15,000mm and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hours, indicating good performance in both rain protection and moisture management.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Shorebay jacket is designed primarily for waterproof protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing for cold weather, it is not heavily insulated on its own. You may need to add a fleece or insulated layer underneath for significant cold.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?
If water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, but instead soaks into the material, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket following the care instructions. It is recommended to use a technical or eco-friendly detergent and to close all zippers and fastenings before washing.
What should I avoid when washing this jacket?
Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric and clog the membrane.
What is the difference between the mesh and taffeta lining?
The 100% polyester mesh lining in the body helps with breathability, while the 100% polyester taffeta lining in the sleeves provides a smooth surface for easy on-and-off over other clothing layers.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the taped seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Consider washing with a technical cleaner. Also, check that any internal layers are also breathable.
