Isotex 15000 indicates the fabric's performance rating, meaning it has a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm (waterproof) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs. This signifies good levels of waterproofing and breathability.

Yes, the jacket is designed as a waterproof and windproof outer shell. For cold weather, layer it over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets to provide warmth.

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

The drainage channel helps to direct any water that might run down the front zip away from the jacket's interior, enhancing water protection.

The jacket is made from waterproof fabric, and the seams are taped. The sleeves are designed to be waterproof and breathable, with adjustable cuffs to seal out moisture.

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is instead soaking into the fabric. This is typically needed after several washes or significant wear.

The jacket is designed with a regular fit suitable for layering, featuring articulated sleeves for mobility. It's recommended to check the size guide for precise measurements.

Ensure seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Follow care instructions for re-proofing.

Clean the zip teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax specifically designed for zips. Ensure the inner zip guard is not obstructing the mechanism.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue that can block pores. Re-proof the jacket if the DWR has worn off, as this can affect breathability. Check for any internal blockages in vents or pockets.

Check that the cord locks are functioning correctly. Ensure the cord is threaded properly through the adjusters. If damaged, consider replacing the cord and toggles.
