FAQs
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to the fabric technology used, indicating a waterproof rating of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs. This means it can withstand a water column of 15,000mm before water penetrates and allows 15,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
How do I care for the jacket to maintain its waterproofing?
Follow the care instructions: machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and do not iron. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain the water-repellent properties of the outer fabric.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. While it provides windproof and waterproof protection, it is lightweight. For cold weather, layer it over a fleece or insulating mid-layer.
What is the benefit of the packaway pocket?
The packaway pocket allows you to fold the entire jacket into its own pocket, which can then be worn as a belt bag. This makes it incredibly convenient to carry when the weather is unpredictable or when you don't need to wear it.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain or prolonged downpours?
The jacket offers good protection for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme or prolonged downpours, additional waterproof gear or a more robust jacket might be necessary, depending on the activity.
What material is the jacket made of?
The main fabric is Nylon, providing durability and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is intact. Reapply DWR treatment if necessary. Check for damage to the fabric.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This may indicate high humidity or intense physical activity. Ensure the jacket is zipped up correctly and that the hood is adjusted to allow for ventilation. Allow moisture vapor to escape by opening the jacket during breaks.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the teeth.
Jacket is not packing into its pocket.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold the jacket neatly before placing it into the designated pocket.
