FAQs
What is the breathability rating of the Isotex 30000 fabric?
The breathability rating of the Isotex 30000 fabric is 30,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it can allow a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape from the inside.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, the Freesdale jacket is designed as a waterproof shell. It can be layered over insulating mid-layers, such as fleece or down jackets, to provide warmth in cold conditions.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 30°C with a non-biological detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and conditioners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Reapply DWR treatment periodically.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the grown-on technical hood features adjusters and a wire peak to allow for a customized fit and improved face protection.
What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for exposed hill hikes, long days on the trail, year-round adventures, and any outdoor activity in harsh weather conditions where high levels of waterproof and breathable protection are required.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
Yes, it features an inner zipped security pocket for storing valuables, in addition to two lower pockets and two chest pockets on the exterior.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment to the exterior fabric according to the product's instructions.
Water is seeping through seams
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If a seam appears damaged, contact customer support. For minor issues, a seam sealer might provide a temporary fix, but professional repair is recommended for long-term waterproofness.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth to ensure smooth operation.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain
This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean and that the inner lining is not saturated. Consider washing with a technical wash detergent designed for outdoor gear.
