FAQs
What is ISOTEX 15000?
ISOTEX 15000 is a performance fabric standard indicating a high level of waterproofing (15,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability, suitable for demanding outdoor conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This is primarily a shell jacket designed for waterproofing and breathability. It does not offer significant insulation on its own. For cold weather, layering with warm mid-layers is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Can I wear a fleece or thick jumper underneath?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer, so you can comfortably wear fleeces, jumpers, or other warm layers underneath for added insulation.
What does 'grown-on hood' mean?
A 'grown-on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket, rather than being detachable.
How does the adjustable waist help?
The adjustable waist allows you to tighten or loosen the jacket's fit around your midsection, helping to seal out drafts and create a more personalized silhouette.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 62% Polyester and 38% Recycled Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Reapply a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for waterproof fabrics if necessary. Check that all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and gently rub a wax-based product (like a candle or lip balm) along the teeth. Avoid excessive force.
Hood adjusters are not holding position
Check that the cord locks are functioning correctly. If they are worn, they may need replacement. Ensure the drawcords are not frayed.
Fit is too loose despite adjustments
Consider layering with thicker clothing underneath for a snugger fit. If the jacket is fundamentally too large, it might be worth exploring alternative sizing options.
