FAQs
What does ISOTEX 15000 mean?
ISOTEX 15000 is a Regatta standard for waterproof and breathable fabric. It means the fabric has a hydrostatic head of 15000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs (allowing moisture vapor to escape).
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The ISOTEX 15000 rating provides good waterproofness suitable for most rainy conditions. However, for prolonged exposure to torrential downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure the longevity of the waterproof treatment?
Proper washing and drying are key. Avoid fabric softeners, tumble drying, and ironing, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
This jacket is designed for protection against rain and wind. It is lightweight and may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold. Layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended for colder temperatures.
What is the main advantage of the Orla Kiely design?
The primary advantage is the integration of high-performance waterproof and breathable technology with Orla Kiely's distinctive and elegant floral patterns, offering both functionality and style.
Can the hood be removed?
The product information does not specify if the hood is removable. Please refer to the product's physical labels or the manufacturer's website for detailed specifications regarding hood attachment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment after cleaning and drying the jacket, following the treatment manufacturer's instructions.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If the issue persists after washing and re-proofing, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain.
This could be due to inadequate breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Consider a gentle wash cycle and ensure no fabric softener was used, as it can impair breathability.
