FAQs
What does the 'Isolite 5000' rating mean?
Isolite 5000 indicates that the fabric has a waterproof rating of 5000mm and a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs. This means it can withstand a column of water 5000mm high before leaking and allows 5000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size guide provided in the product description. Measurements are typically given in UK dress sizes and corresponding chest measurements (in inches).
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing, it is not insulated and may not be sufficient on its own for very cold conditions.
Can I wear this for strenuous activities like running?
The jacket offers some breathability, but for high-intensity activities where significant sweat is produced, you might experience some internal moisture buildup. It's best suited for moderate-intensity activities or as an emergency layer.
How do I maintain the waterproofness?
It is recommended to wash the jacket periodically using specialized technical washes and to reapply a DWR finish as needed to maintain its water-repellent properties.
What is the cuff style?
The cuffs are elasticated, providing a snug fit to help prevent wind and rain from entering the sleeves.
Does the hood have a visor?
The hood is described as adjustable and unlined, but a visor is not explicitly mentioned in the product details.
How many pockets does it have?
The jacket features two side entry pockets.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof after washing.
Ensure you are using a suitable detergent for waterproof clothing and have avoided fabric softener. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper. Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Lubricate with a wax-based product or graphite from a pencil.
Jacket feels damp inside after use.
This can occur during high-exertion activities. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, allowing for some air circulation. Open the zipper slightly for ventilation if needed. Check that all vents (if any) are clear.
