FAQs
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for hiking, trekking, and general outdoor adventures in unpredictable weather conditions where waterproof and breathable protection is needed.
How do I know if the DWR treatment needs reapplying?
When water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric surface, but instead soaks in, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment. This can be checked by splashing a little water on the outer fabric.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket or fleece underneath to provide adequate warmth.
What is Isotex 30000?
Isotex 30000 is a performance fabric technology that provides a high level of waterproofness (30,000mm) and breathability (e.g., 15,000g/m²/24h), ensuring you stay dry from the inside and out.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood features a technical wire peak and adjustable drawcords, allowing you to customize the fit and coverage for optimal protection against wind and rain.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and powder detergents.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside during heavy rain.
Check that all zippers are fully closed. Ensure the hood is properly adjusted and the drawcords are tightened. If the issue persists, the DWR treatment may need to be reapplied.
Water is seeping through the seams.
Verify that the jacket has been washed according to care instructions, as detergent residue can affect performance. If seams continue to leak, there may be damage to the taping that requires professional inspection.
Reduced breathability, feeling clammy.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Body oils and dirt can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash using a technical wash and rinse thoroughly. Check for any blockages in the fabric's membrane.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zippers are closed and the hood is adjusted for optimal protection before heading outdoors.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear and pairs well with base layers and mid-layers for adjustable warmth. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities.
Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or powders.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric.
- Re-waterproofing: If the DWR finish appears to be worn off (water no longer beads on the surface), a re-waterproofing treatment can be applied after washing and drying, following the product instructions.
