FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 is a hydrostatic head rating indicating the fabric's waterproofness. 15000mm means the fabric can withstand the pressure of 15,000 millimeters of water before leaking, offering good protection in heavy rain.

How do I detach the hood?

The hood is typically attached with a zipper and possibly some press studs. Locate the attachment points around the collar and carefully unzip/unfasten to remove it.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle using liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

How often should I re-apply the water-repellent finish?

The frequency depends on usage and care. Generally, re-applying after every few washes or when water no longer beads on the surface is recommended to maintain optimal performance.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

This jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For extreme cold, it is designed to be layered over insulating clothing like fleece or down jackets to provide warmth.

What are the pocket closures?

The jacket features multiple zip pockets, providing secure and weather-resistant storage for your belongings.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer repelling water

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment. Ensure seams are still intact.

Hood is not fitting securely

Ensure the hood is correctly attached and zipped. Adjust the hood using the drawcords for a tighter fit around the face.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry outside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Check care label and consider using a specialized technical wash. Also, ensure any internal layers are also breathable.
