FAQs
What does Isotex 20000 mean?
Isotex 20000 indicates the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. It means the fabric can withstand a water column of 20,000mm and has a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24 hours, offering excellent protection and comfort.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, layering with warm insulation underneath would be recommended.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the technical hood is grown-on and cannot be removed.
How do I check if the DWR finish needs reapplication?
Water should bead up and roll off the fabric. If water starts to soak into the fabric, leaving a dark wet patch, it's time to reapply the DWR finish.
What ages is the printed name label for?
The printed name label is suitable for children up to age 8.
Can I wash this jacket with regular laundry detergent?
It is recommended to use mild detergents designed for technical outdoor gear. Harsh detergents or fabric softeners can compromise the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
Is the jacket made from recycled materials?
Yes, the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplying. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for re-waterproofing agents suitable for technical fabrics.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick designed for zippers.
Inner lining feels sticky or uncomfortable.
Ensure the jacket is washed according to care instructions and dried properly. Avoid high heat drying. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Reflective trims are peeling.
Avoid aggressive washing or drying. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to reattach. For significant damage, consider it a safety issue and replace the jacket.
