FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 indicates that the fabric has a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm (waterproof) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs, making it suitable for heavy rain and active use.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided, which includes specific measurements for chest and waist. The jacket has a tailored fit, so consider your layering needs when selecting a size.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and powder detergents.

How do I restore the jacket's waterproofing?

After washing, you can restore the water repellency by applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, following the product's instructions. This can often be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% polyester, with a mesh lining. Importantly, it is constructed from recycled materials.

Does it have pockets for essentials?

Yes, it features two side pockets, one chest pocket, and one internal security pocket. The external pockets, including the chest pocket, have water-repellent zips.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems to be leaking water

Ensure all seams are taped correctly. Reapply a DWR finish to the outer fabric if the water is not beading. Check that zippers are fully closed and that the water-repellent zip is functioning.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can be due to insufficient breathability or moisture build-up. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, and consider wearing moisture-wicking layers underneath. Check that vents or any other ventilation features are open.

Zipper is difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the inner zip guard is not caught in the zipper.

Jacket loses its water repellency

Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then reapply a suitable DWR treatment. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair water repellency.
