Isotex 20000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand a column of water 20,000 millimeters high before leaking, indicating high waterproofness. It also allows for significant breathability to manage internal moisture.
The jacket itself is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets to achieve desired warmth.
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Generally, you should be able to wear a warm layer underneath without the jacket feeling too tight. Check measurements against your chest and waist.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for full details.
The wire peak helps to maintain the hood's shape and direct water away from your face and eyes, improving visibility in heavy rain without compromising protection.
Re-proofing is recommended annually or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric. Regular washing with a technical cleaner can also help maintain performance.
Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly and re-proofed using a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Check that all seams are intact and that the fabric itself is not damaged.
Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical fabric wash to remove dirt and oils that can clog the pores. Ensure the washing machine cycle was adequate and not too harsh.
Clean the zipper teeth carefully with a soft brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Ensure the drawcords are tightened securely. Check for any debris caught in the adjusters that might prevent them from locking.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zippers are closed and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem for a secure fit before heading outdoors.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this jacket is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, and general outdoor use in variable weather. It can be layered over mid-layers for added warmth.
