FAQs
What is the breathability rating of the Isotex 30000 fabric?
The breathability rating is 30,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating excellent moisture vapor transfer.
Can I remove the hood completely?
The jacket features a grown-on technical hood with adjusters. While it cannot be fully detached, it can be adjusted for a snug fit or folded down when not in use.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it's recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket are covered with a waterproof tape, preventing water from leaking through the needle holes.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The lower pockets and the centre front zip have water-repellent finishes to protect contents from moisture, though they are not fully submersible.
What is the purpose of the underarm ventilation zips?
These zips allow you to quickly release excess heat and improve airflow during strenuous activity, helping to regulate your body temperature.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap, then lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or wax.
Reduced breathability despite good waterproofness.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric pores. Use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
Ventilation zips do not open fully.
Check for any fabric obstructions or debris in the zipper track. Gently clear any obstructions and ensure the zipper slider is not damaged.
