FAQs
What is Isotex 15000?
Isotex 15000 is a performance fabric technology that provides a high level of waterproofness (15000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (rated in g/m²/24hrs), ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in wet weather.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The Hamara IV is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer with insulating garments like fleece or down jackets underneath.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C using a liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and bleach. Rinse thoroughly.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
It is advisable to re-proof the jacket when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or if the fabric starts to feel damp. This is typically after several washes or prolonged use.
Is the hood detachable?
The description indicates an adjustable hood, which may be detachable or stowable depending on the specific design variation.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams means that waterproof tape is applied over the stitches on the inside of the garment. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer feels waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment as per the product's directions.
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all seams are intact. If seams appear damaged, contact customer support. For minor issues, a seam sealer might offer a temporary fix.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth to improve movement.
Jacket feels less breathable
The fabric may be clogged with dirt or residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions with a suitable detergent. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly.
