FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of the Isotex 15000 fabric?
Isotex 15000 fabric provides a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before leaking.
How do I know if I need to re-proof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up on the surface and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to re-proof the DWR finish.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent rain protection but limited insulation. For cold weather, it is designed to be worn with insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, which is considered good for outdoor apparel, allowing significant moisture vapor transfer.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The lower pockets have snap fastenings, and there is an internal security pocket. While designed to keep contents dry, they are not sealed and may not be fully waterproof in extreme conditions.
How should I wash the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with liquid detergent and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid fabric softeners and powder detergents.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results, apply a specific outdoor fabric re-proofer.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure there is no debris caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a wax-based product if necessary.
Hood drawcords are loose
Check the cord lock mechanism. If it is not holding the cord tightly, the lock may be worn or damaged and might need replacement.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash and tumble dry as per care instructions.
