Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the Isotex 20000 fabric acts as an effective windbreaker in addition to being waterproof.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners.

How do I adjust the hood?

The VisionAlign hood features integrated adjustment points, typically found around the crown or the perimeter, to allow for a snug, movement-tracking fit.

Is the jacket fully seam-sealed?

Yes, it features taped seams throughout to ensure maximum waterproof integrity.

Does the fabric stretch?

Yes, the jacket is constructed from specialized stretch fabric designed to move with your body.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer to restore water beading.

Feeling damp inside the jacket during heavy exertion

Ensure your mid-layer is moisture-wicking and not cotton. While breathable, the jacket works best when your inner layers allow sweat to pass through effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level waterproof rating (20000) for heavy rain conditions
  • Stretch fabric prevents the restrictive feeling typical of hardshell jackets
  • Smart hood design maintains full visibility during side-to-side head movement
  • Ample storage options including a dedicated security pocket

Cons

  • Requires specialized washing instructions to protect technical coatings
  • Best suited for active layering, which may feel thin on its own in extreme cold
  • Fit is tailored, meaning it may feel snug if worn over heavy, bulky knitwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always consult the internal care label before washing. Use a technical garment cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent, as standard soap can clog the breathable pores of the fabric and strip the water-repellent treatment. After washing, ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed. To maintain the waterproof efficacy, the jacket may occasionally require re-proofing with a spray-on treatment once it is dry. For compatibility, the jacket is designed as a primary shell; it is best paired with a base layer and a mid-layer fleece or synthetic jacket for year-round utility in various climates.
