FAQs
What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?
'Isotex 20000' refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. It means the fabric can withstand a water column of 20,000mm and has a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating good performance in wet conditions while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
How should I wash the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C. It is important to close all zippers and fasteners before washing and to tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and breathable protection, making it suitable for cool and wet conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath.
What is the benefit of the taped seams?
Taped seams are essential for complete waterproof protection. They cover the stitches, preventing water from seeping through the tiny holes created by the needle during sewing.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed for visibility. While durable for normal use, care should be taken during washing and drying to preserve their reflective quality. Avoid high heat and abrasive cleaning methods.
Can the hood be removed?
The jacket features a 'grown-on technical hood,' which means it is permanently attached and cannot be removed.
What age is the printed name label for?
The printed name label is included for sizes up to age 8.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking during heavy rain.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the durable water repellent finish is intact. If the finish has worn off, consider reapplying a suitable product for outdoor clothing. Check that zippers are fully closed.
Child feels too warm or sweaty inside the jacket.
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the inner lining is clean and free from debris. Consider wearing lighter layers underneath and open zippers slightly for ventilation if conditions allow.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Reflective trims are peeling or damaged.
Avoid harsh scrubbing or high heat when washing and drying. Minor peeling may not affect functionality significantly, but extensive damage may require professional repair or replacement of the garment.
