FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides good insulation and weather protection, making it suitable for cooler weather and as a mid-layer in very cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider layering with additional warm garments.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric conditioner.
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 indicates the fabric's rating for breathability and waterproofness. It means the fabric can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure and has good breathability characteristics.
Can I iron this jacket?
No, ironing is not recommended as it can damage the fabric and its waterproof/breathable properties. If necessary, a cool iron on the reverse side with a protective cloth might be possible, but air drying is preferred.
What is the benefit of the wired peak on the hood?
The wired peak helps to keep its shape and direct water away from your face, improving visibility in rainy conditions.
How should I re-apply the DWR treatment?
After washing and drying, apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually involves spraying evenly and then ironing on a low setting (with a cloth) or tumble drying to activate.
Is the jacket made from recycled materials?
Yes, the jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This may be due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening the main zip if needed, or consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the main zipper and pocket zippers are fully closed.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Ensure all seams are intact. If damage is visible, professional repair may be necessary. Check that the main zip is fully closed.
