FAQs
What makes this jacket waterproof?

Is the insulation synthetic or down?

Can I wear this jacket in mild weather?
While breathable, the jacket includes Thermoguard insulation and may be too warm for mild or hot weather. It is best suited for cooler conditions.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
What is the breathability rating of the fabric?
The Isotex 10000 fabric has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours.

Is this jacket made from sustainable materials?

Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Ensure seams are sealed and consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric. Check for any damage to the fabric.
Jacket feels less breathable.
Wash the jacket according to care instructions with a mild detergent to remove any build-up of dirt or oils that can clog the membrane. Avoid fabric softeners.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to help it slide smoothly.
Insulation feels flat or less effective.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. If tumble drying, use a low heat setting. The insulation may naturally compress over time; check if a re-proofing treatment is needed for the outer shell.
