FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 indicates the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. '15000' refers to the hydrostatic head, meaning it can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before leaking, and signifies good breathability.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Birchdale II is a waterproof shell jacket. It is designed to be worn over other layers for warmth, rather than providing insulation itself.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
Yes, you can wear it in cold weather by layering appropriately. Add a warm fleece or insulated jacket underneath for significant warmth.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is recommended when water no longer beads on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or prolonged use. Follow the instructions on your chosen re-proofing product.
What is the difference between this and other Birchdale models?
The Birchdale II features advanced Isotex 15000 stretch fabric, offering enhanced flexibility and comfort compared to older or different models which might have a different fabric composition or waterproof rating.
Can the hood be detached?
Information regarding a detachable hood is not specified in the provided product data. Please refer to product tags or manufacturer details for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
Ensure all vents are open if present. Check that the fabric is clean; dirt can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions.
