FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 refers to the jacket's hydrostatic head rating, indicating it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure. It also signifies good breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Is this jacket insulated?

The Matt II jacket is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It does not have built-in insulation but is designed to be layered over warmer clothing.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

While the jacket protects against wind and rain, it does not provide significant insulation. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers is recommended.

How do I maintain the waterproofness?

Regular washing with a suitable detergent and periodic re-application of a DWR treatment are key to maintaining the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance.

What is the benefit of taped seams?

Taped seams are sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water from penetrating through the stitch holes, providing an extra layer of protection against rain.

Does the hood offer adjustable features?

The jacket includes a packaway hood designed for convenience. Specific adjustment features may vary, but generally, it provides coverage and can be stowed when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the DWR finish on the outer fabric is still active. If the DWR has worn off, re-apply a waterproofing treatment. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash according to care instructions and consider re-proofing if necessary.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to ensure smooth operation.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, it is suitable for a range of outdoor activities. It pairs well with other base and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a tennis ball to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a waterproofing treatment (such as Grangers or Nikwax) to the outer fabric to ensure continued water repellency. Follow the product's specific instructions for application.
