FAQs
What does ISOTEX 15000 mean?
ISOTEX 15000 indicates that the fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24h (breathability). This means it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure and allows a good amount of moisture vapor to escape.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a shell jacket. It is designed to protect against rain and wind but does not have built-in insulation. You can layer warmer clothing underneath for colder weather.
Can I wear this jacket in very windy conditions?
Yes, the waterproof and breathable membrane, along with the adjustable features, help to block wind and keep you comfortable.
How do I clean the floral pattern?
The floral pattern is printed onto the fabric and can be cleaned according to the general care instructions. Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or high heat drying.
What is the benefit of the recycled polyester blend?
Using recycled polyester reduces the reliance on virgin resources, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process by repurposing plastic waste.
What if the jacket is too long for me?
While this is a longer length jacket, the shaped hem and adjustable waist can help to improve the fit. If the length is a significant issue, you may want to consider alternatives with shorter lengths or different styles.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a specific re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You can also apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside during use.
Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, allowing for air circulation. Check that all vents are open if applicable, and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Inspect the taped seams for any signs of damage or delamination. If damage is visible, the jacket's waterproof integrity may be compromised.
