FAQs
What is the main benefit of the ISOLITE 15000 fabric?
ISOLITE 15000 provides a good balance of waterproofing (15,000mm) and breathability (15,000g/m²/24 hours), keeping you dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.
How does the PACKAWAY feature work?
The jacket can be folded down and stored inside its own left pocket. It then zips up to form a compact, banana-shaped bundle that is easy to carry in a backpack or bag.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket is lightweight and does not have significant insulation. It is best suited for milder weather or for layering over warmer mid-layers during colder conditions.
How often should I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
Re-application frequency depends on usage and washing. It's recommended to re-proof when water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or heavy use.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a liquid detergent specifically for waterproof/breathable fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
What does the reflective strip do?
The reflective strip is designed to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or foggy weather, improving safety during outdoor activities.
What size should I order?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for precise measurements. This specific jacket is listed as size XXL for men.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Water seems to be leaking through seams
Ensure seams are intact. For persistent issues, consider seam sealing products, though this jacket is designed for general water resistance rather than full immersion.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and gently try to move it. A small amount of wax (like candle wax or a specific zipper lubricant) can help.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can be due to high humidity or insufficient ventilation. Ensure all vents are open, and consider if the environmental conditions exceed the jacket's breathability rating. Layering a moisture-wicking base layer helps manage internal moisture.
