FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of the Isolite 10000 fabric?
The Isolite 10000 fabric offers a waterproof rating of 10000mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high before leaking.
Can this jacket be used in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed primarily for rain protection and is not insulated. For cold weather, it should be worn as an outer shell over warm insulating layers.
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
Ensure the jacket is dry. Start by folding it roughly, then place it into the provided stuff sack and compress it by pushing down and turning the sack.
Is this jacket suitable for high-exertion activities?
Yes, the fabric is breathable, which helps to manage moisture during moderate activity. However, for very intense, prolonged activities, some users may experience perspiration buildup.
What is the main advantage of this jacket?
Its primary advantage is being extremely waterproof, breathable, and highly packable, making it an ideal 'just-in-case' garment for unpredictable weather.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric, which typically occurs after several washes or significant use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Check for any damage to the fabric. If the waterproof treatment has worn off, consider re-applying a waterproofing agent.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.
Jacket no longer beads water on the surface
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product.
