FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the Isotex 20000 material acts as an effective windbreaker in addition to its waterproof capabilities.

Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?

You should check the care label on your specific garment; generally, low-heat tumble drying can help reactivate the DWR coating, but avoid high heat.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is a fixed technical design to ensure the best seal against rain and wind.

What does the 20000 rating mean?

The 20000 rating refers to the hydrostatic head test, indicating the fabric can withstand significant water pressure, making it suitable for very wet conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

The jacket follows standard sizing. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you may prefer to size up to maintain full range of motion.

Does it have internal pockets?

The design prioritizes external zipped pockets for easy access, but check the internal lining for any additional stash spots specific to your size.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the fabric rather than beading up

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a fabric-safe DWR spray and heat-dry according to the spray manufacturer's instructions.

Feeling damp inside the jacket during strenuous exercise

While breathable, no jacket can handle infinite moisture vapor. Ensure you are not over-layering and try loosening the hem and cuffs to increase internal airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof rating for heavy rain
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during exertion
  • Stretch fabric allows for natural, unhindered movement
  • Multiple secure, zipped pockets for essentials

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme winter arctic conditions
  • Requires proper maintenance to keep the DWR finish effective
  • Lightweight construction means less impact protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, ensure the hood and hem are adjusted before heading out into high-exposure areas. Because the jacket is a technical shell, it is best paired with a moisture-wicking base layer and a mid-layer fleece for temperature regulation. To maintain the waterproof properties, wash in cool water using technical cleaners formulated for synthetic gear. Avoid heavy fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Always air dry the jacket away from direct high-heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the seam taping over time.
