FAQs

What does Isotex 20000 mean?

Isotex 20000 indicates the fabric's performance rating. It means the fabric is waterproof to 20,000mm and breathable to 20,000g/m²/24hrs, offering excellent protection and comfort.

How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?

If water no longer beads up on the surface and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to re-apply a DWR treatment.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating garments underneath.

Is the hood adjustable?

The technical hood is designed for optimal coverage and typically features adjustment points to secure a snug fit.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from Polyester with Isotex 20000 fabric technology.

What is the best way to store the jacket?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged compression, which can affect the fabric's performance over time. Ensure it is clean and dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer feels waterproof.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following the product instructions.

Breathability seems reduced, leading to clamminess.

Ensure the garment is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Check that vents, if present, are open.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
