Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Birchdale II jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with Isotex 20000 fabric and features taped seams, making it highly waterproof for outdoor use.

Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?

No. Fabric softeners leave a residue that can clog the pores of the breathable fabric and compromise its performance.

What does the 'Isotex 20000' rating mean?

It refers to a hydrostatic head rating, indicating the fabric can withstand high water pressure while remaining breathable.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket features adjustable details to ensure a secure fit for your head while maintaining visibility.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes, it features multiple zipped pockets with water-repellent zips to keep your gear safe and dry.

How should I store the jacket?

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a small bag for long periods, as this can degrade the waterproof coating.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the outer fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer.

Internal condensation build-up

Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers and adjust the ventilation by opening cuffs or zips if you are working up a sweat.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clear any debris or grit from the zipper track. If it remains stiff, apply a specialist zipper lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable rating (Isotex 20000)
  • Stretch material allows for natural, unrestricted movement
  • Technical hood design maintains clear visibility
  • Adjustable features provide a secure, personalized fit
  • Durable construction suitable for long-distance hiking

Cons

  • Requires regular DWR re-treatment to maintain water beading
  • Polyester material may feel less breathable than natural fiber layers
  • Requires careful washing to protect technical membranes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket performs as expected, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof shells. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical coating.
  • Drying: Air dry is preferred. Avoid excessive heat or direct tumble drying on high heat settings, as this may damage the taped seams.
  • Maintenance: Over time, water will stop beading on the surface. Apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore the exterior waterproofing.
  • Layering: The jacket is designed as a shell. Wear a moisture-wicking base layer and an insulating mid-layer (like fleece or synthetic down) for maximum comfort in cold conditions.
