FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the Isotex 15000 fabric is windproof, providing an effective barrier against cold gusts.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket features taped seams and high-performance waterproof fabric designed to handle heavy rain.

How should I clean my Birchdale II jacket?

Machine wash using a technical detergent designed for waterproof apparel. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Does it have a packable hood?

The hood is a technical grown-on style, which provides a more secure and consistent fit than stowaway options.

Is the fabric noisy like traditional rain shells?

The stretch fabric is designed to be quieter and more supple than stiff, traditional plastic-like waterproof materials.

Can I adjust the fit at the waist?

The jacket includes a shock cord hem that allows you to cinch the waist to improve fit and lock in warmth.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a technical re-proofing spray and tumble dry on a low setting as per the care label.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

Ensure you are not overdressing, as moisture could be trapped sweat rather than rain ingress, or clean the jacket to clear the pores of the breathable membrane.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of waterproofing with 15000 rating
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during strenuous activity
  • Stretch fabric allows for natural, unrestricted movement
  • Thoughtful design includes adjustable elements for a custom fit

Cons

  • Primarily a shell; does not provide heavy thermal insulation
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep the water-repellent coating effective

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, keep the outer layer clean. Dirt and debris can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane, reducing breathability. When washing, use a technical cleaner suitable for waterproof gear and avoid standard fabric softeners. To keep the water-repellent finish (DWR) active, the jacket may occasionally require re-proofing or low-heat tumble drying, provided the care label permits. Layering is key: wear a moisture-wicking base layer and a mid-layer fleece or synthetic insulation underneath, depending on the temperature, to get the most out of the shell's protective properties.
