FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 indicates the jacket has a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24h. This signifies a high level of waterproof protection and good breathability.
How do I attach or detach the hood?
The hood is typically attached or detached using a system of snaps, a zipper, or a drawcord around the collar. Consult the specific fastening points on your jacket and follow their mechanism.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is a waterproof and windproof shell. For very cold weather, you will need to layer insulating clothing, such as fleece or down, underneath it.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.
How should I clean the jacket?
It is machine washable. Use a mild detergent, wash at 40°C, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have zip fastenings, which help to keep their contents dry from rain. However, they are not designed for submersion.
What is the purpose of the adjustable cuffs?
The adjustable cuffs allow you to cinch the sleeves tighter around your wrists, helping to prevent wind and rain from entering the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly with appropriate detergent (no fabric softener). Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for technical fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Lubricate with beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Hood attachment is loose
Check the fastening mechanism (snaps, velcro, or drawcord) for the hood. Ensure it is securely fastened according to the design. Clean any debris from the attachment points.
Breathability seems reduced
The fabric's breathability can be affected by dirt and oils. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, using a technical wash if possible. Ensure all pockets are zipped to prevent internal moisture buildup.
