FAQs

What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?

Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's rating for waterproofing and breathability. It means the fabric can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure and allows 15,000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through, indicating good protection and comfort.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket features Thermo-Guard insulation and is windproof and waterproof, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.

How do I check my size?

Refer to the size guide provided. For this jacket, a size S corresponds to a 38-inch chest. It is recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare it with the guide.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is a grown-on technical hood and is not detachable.

Are the materials eco-friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.

What is the purpose of the DWR finish?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This finish helps water bead off the surface of the jacket, preventing the outer fabric from becoming saturated and maintaining its breathability and insulating properties.

How often should I reapply DWR treatment?

The need to reapply DWR depends on usage and care. If water no longer beads on the surface and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to reapply a DWR treatment.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that the DWR finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check that seams are properly sealed; if damage is visible, contact customer support.

Jacket feels too warm.

The jacket is designed for warmth. For milder conditions, layer with lighter clothing or wear the jacket unzipped. Consider a lighter-weight jacket for warmer weather.

Hood is not providing adequate coverage.

Adjust the toggle cords on the hood for a tighter fit. Ensure the wired peak is positioned correctly to maximize visibility and protection.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
