FAQs

What does Isotex 30000 mean?

Isotex 30000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. It means the fabric can withstand 30,000mm of water pressure and has a breathability rating of 30,000g/m²/24 hours, indicating high performance in both areas.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket itself is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating mid-layers, such as fleece or down jackets, to provide warmth.

How do I maintain the waterproof properties?

Regularly wash the jacket according to the care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR waterproofing treatment after washing. Ensure zippers are closed before washing and avoid harsh detergents.

Can this jacket be used for everyday wear?

While highly functional, the technical features like the wire-peaked hood and robust fabric might be more than necessary for casual, everyday use in mild weather. It is best suited for outdoor activities and harsh conditions.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester ripstop fabric.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features two lower pockets, two chest pockets, and one internal zipped security pocket.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Re-apply a DWR waterproofing treatment after washing. Ensure all seams are intact. Check that the main zip and pocket zips are fully closed.

Hood is not staying in place

Adjust the hood drawcords and the wire peak to ensure a snug and secure fit around your head.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure all vents are open if present, and that you are not overheating due to excessive layers. The breathability rating is high but can be challenged by very high activity levels or extreme humidity.
