FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 indicates the fabric's waterproofing capability, meaning it can withstand a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm of water. It also signifies good breathability, allowing 15,000g of water vapor to pass through per square meter per 24 hours.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for chest, waist, and hip measurements. The product is listed as a men's XXXXL, designed for adult males.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket itself provides wind and water protection. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered over an insulating mid-layer such as a fleece or down jacket.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when water no longer beads up and runs off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear. Using a technical wash and re-proofer periodically will help maintain performance.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle, but avoid bleach, fabric softener, and washing with heavily soiled items.
What is the warranty period?
Information regarding the specific warranty period for this product is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official website for warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer feels waterproof
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If damage is visible, contact customer support. For minor issues, re-sealing may be possible with specialized repair kits.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant sparingly to the teeth.
Detachable hood is loose
Check that the hood's zip and stud fasteners are fully engaged and secured. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the mechanism.
