Full details

Its key benefit is superior waterproof and breathable performance, making it ideal for daily commutes, weekend adventures, and unpredictable weather.

This jacket utilizes Isotex 15000 fabric, offering excellent waterproofing and breathability, a durable water repellent finish, and taped seams. It features a practical grown-on hood, secure internal pocket, and convenient lower patch pockets, all constructed from 100% polyester with a polyester taffeta lining.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The jacket is best suited for rainy and windy conditions, offering good waterproofing and breathability for everyday use, commutes, and light outdoor activities.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?
Regularly clean the jacket according to the care instructions and re-apply a waterproofing treatment periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface.
Can this jacket be used for hiking or strenuous activities?
While breathable, the Isotex 15000 rating is most suitable for moderate activity levels. For very high-intensity sports, a jacket with a higher breathability rating might be more appropriate.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester Isotex 15000 fabric with a polyester taffeta lining.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The lower patch pockets have flaps to protect their contents from rain, but they are not sealed internal pockets. The internal security pocket is designed to keep items dry.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features drawcords that can be tightened to create a snugger fit around the face, providing better protection against wind and rain.
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's performance rating. '15000' indicates it can withstand a water column of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours (how much moisture vapor can pass through).
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment, either a spray or a wash-in product, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash according to care instructions. Check that any inner layers worn are also breathable. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair breathability.
Zippers or snaps are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For zippers, a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) can help. Ensure the fabric around the fasteners is not caught.
