FAQs

What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?

Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. '15000' indicates that the fabric can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours, meaning it allows 15,000g of water vapor to pass through per square meter in a 24-hour period.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed as a waterproof shell. While it protects against wind and rain, it offers minimal insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach and rinse thoroughly.

How do I maintain the jacket's water repellency?

Over time, the water-repellent finish can wear off. To restore it, clean the jacket and then apply a dedicated fabric re-proofer, following the product's instructions.

What is the benefit of the stretch fabric?

The stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement, making the jacket more comfortable and less restrictive during active pursuits like hiking, climbing, or walking.

Does the hood attach or is it fixed?

The hood is adjustable and foldable, meaning it can be stowed away when not in use, offering versatility depending on the weather conditions.

What is the difference between this jacket and a softshell?

This is a hardshell jacket, focusing primarily on waterproof and windproof protection. A softshell typically offers more breathability and stretch but less robust waterproof capability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof/water beads poorly

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable fabric re-proofer according to the product instructions.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zip teeth with a small brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip for smoother operation.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry outside

Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening zips and adjusting cuffs. The breathability rating may be exceeded during very high-intensity activities; consider lighter layers or specific breathable gear for extreme exertion.

Seams are leaking water

Check if the taped seams are intact. If seams appear to be separating or the tape is peeling, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for active use.
  • Stretch fabric allows for freedom of movement during hikes and climbs.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for reliable weather protection.
  • Adjustable features (cuffs, hem, hood) enhance comfort and fit.
  • Lightweight and packable design.

Cons

  • The bright yellow color might not be suitable for all users or camouflage needs.
  • Mesh lining may not provide sufficient insulation in very cold weather.
  • Polyester material may not be as breathable as some natural fibers for intense activity.
  • Only two external zipped pockets might be limiting for some users.
  • Relies on a DWR coating for water repellency, which may need reapplication over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
