FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 signifies that the fabric is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and breathable to 15,000g/m²/24hrs. This rating offers a good balance of protection from rain and the ability to allow perspiration vapor to escape.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket or fleece underneath to provide adequate warmth.
How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and care. Generally, reapply when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.
Are the pockets waterproof or water-resistant?
The side pockets feature water-repellent zips, offering protection against light rain. The chest and security pockets also contribute to keeping items dry. For complete protection against heavy downpours, consider using waterproof dry bags for sensitive electronics.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme sports?
While durable and protective for general outdoor activities, it is designed for everyday wear and moderate outdoor pursuits. For extreme sports requiring specialized technical gear, specific certifications and features might be necessary.
What does 'made from recycled materials' mean for this jacket?
This indicates that parts of the jacket, likely the fabric, have been manufactured using recycled content, reducing the reliance on virgin materials and contributing to environmental sustainability.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and powder detergents. Always tumble dry afterwards to help maintain its water-repellent properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplying. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry, then tumble dry on a low heat setting. If this doesn't help, use a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment following the manufacturer's instructions.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.
Check that the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Ensure any internal pockets containing items like phones are not blocking ventilation.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly and then apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Ensure the taped seams are intact and clean. Dirt or damage to the tape can compromise waterproofing. For minor damage, specialized seam sealers can sometimes be used, but significant damage may affect the jacket's integrity.
