FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable coating/membrane. The '15000' rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a water column of 15,000mm before water penetrates, and it offers a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hr, meaning 15,000 grams of moisture vapor can pass through each square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofing?
Wash the jacket in a washing machine at 40°C with a non-biological liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the DWR finish. For best long-term performance, consider using a specific re-proofer wash or spray.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Hamara IV is designed for waterproofing and breathability. While it offers protection from wind and rain, it is a shell jacket and does not provide significant insulation on its own. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments like fleece or down is recommended.
What is the purpose of the wire in the hood peak?
The wire in the hood peak provides structure and allows you to shape it effectively. This helps to keep the hood up, direct rain away from your face, and improve visibility in wet and windy conditions.
Can I machine dry the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. This also helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, maintaining its water-repellent properties.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to consult the Regatta size chart available on the product page or the brand's website. Measure your chest, waist, and hip circumference and compare them to the chart. Consider that this is a waterproof jacket designed to be worn over other clothing, so a slightly looser fit may be desirable for layering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof or water is soaking through.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment by washing the jacket with a suitable re-proofer or by using a spray-on treatment. Ensure no fabric softener or biological detergent was used in previous washes, as these can affect performance.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and move the zipper up and down to ensure smooth operation.
Hood is not providing adequate coverage.
Ensure the wire peak is correctly shaped and the drawcords around the hood opening are tightened sufficiently to create a snug fit around the face.
Jacket feels less breathable than before.
Check if the mesh lining or outer fabric is clogged with dirt or residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, using a gentle detergent. Avoid fabric conditioners which can impede breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Suitable for all adult women. Its sizing is based on standard apparel measurements, but consulting the size chart is advised for the best fit.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a non-biological liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results, re-proof the jacket after washing to maintain its water-repellent properties. A specific re-proofer spray or wash can be used according to product instructions.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The DWR finish can be reactivated by gentle heat, such as from a tumble dryer or a cool iron on the reverse side if absolutely necessary, but avoid direct heat on the fabric.
