FAQs
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology that ensures you stay dry from the inside and out. It provides a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours (moisture vapor permeability).
Is this jacket insulated?
The Hamara IV jacket features a mesh lining for comfort and breathability, but it is not heavily insulated. It is designed to be worn as a shell layer, allowing you to add insulating layers underneath as needed for colder weather.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a liquid detergent or technical wash. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 10000 fabric, taped seams, and DWR finish provide effective protection against heavy rain.
What type of pockets does it have?
The jacket features multiple zip pockets, including an inner zipped security pocket, providing secure storage for your belongings.
How do I adjust the hood?
The grown-on technical hood has adjusters that allow you to customize the fit for optimal protection against wind and rain.
What material is the jacket made from?
The main fabric is 70% polyester and 30% polyester textured fabric (118 gsm). The lining is 100% polyester taffeta (60 gsm) with a printed mesh.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading off the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions after washing and drying the jacket.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain
This could indicate a breathability issue. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric pores. Wash using a technical cleaner and ensure no detergent residue remains.
Hood adjusters are stiff
Gently work the adjusters back and forth. If they remain stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the cord and the mechanism.
