FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for rain protection and is lightweight. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent and technical wash. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat.
How often should I reapply the water repellent treatment?
Reapply the DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the fabric. This typically depends on usage frequency and washing habits.
What does Isolite 10000 mean?
Isolite 10000 refers to the fabric's hydrostatic head rating, indicating it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking, signifying good waterproofness.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane and reduce breathability and water repellency.
What are the main benefits of the taped seams?
Taped seams prevent water from penetrating through the needle holes created during the stitching process, ensuring the jacket remains fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Check if seams are properly taped. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur in high humidity or during strenuous activity. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up to maintain breathability. The internal moisture is likely perspiration.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket does not pack easily into stuff sack
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and as flat as possible before attempting to stuff it. Do not fold it rigidly, instead, loosely roll or compress it.
