FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric is waterproof and breathable. '10000' refers to the hydrostatic head rating (10,000mm), meaning it can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 10-meter column of water before leaking, and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours, indicating how much water vapor can pass through the fabric.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 10000 fabric with sealed seams provides effective protection against heavy rain.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. While it blocks wind and rain, it offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, layering with insulating items like fleece or down is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry on high heat. Air drying is recommended. Avoid fabric softeners.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the hood is detachable and features an adjustable drawstring for a secure fit.
What kind of pockets does the jacket have?
It features two lower zipped pockets for external storage and one internal zipped security pocket for valuables.
What are the environmental benefits of this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, which helps to reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with producing new materials.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the fabric has been washed according to care instructions. Apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofer after washing to restore water resistance. Check that all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax or paraffin wax) to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur if the breathability is exceeded during very high-intensity activities. Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully and cuffs/hem are adjusted to allow for better airflow management. Check that the internal mesh lining is clean.
Hood adjustment drawstring is loose
Locate the cord lock mechanism on the drawstring. Press or slide the toggle to tighten the cord and secure the hood's fit around the face.
