FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?

What type of insulation does it use?
It uses 40g Cool Climate Insulation, which is designed to provide lightweight warmth without adding bulk.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
This jacket is lightly insulated. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer a warmer insulating piece, such as a fleece jacket or a down vest, underneath.
How does the stretch fabric benefit me?
The 3-layer fabric construction includes stretch in the shell, lining, and insulation. This provides excellent freedom of movement, ensuring you are not restricted during active use.
What are the primary materials used?
The main fabric is composed of 87% Nylon and 13% Elastane. The insulation is 40g Cool Climate Insulation.
How should I wash and care for the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
What does AriatTEK technology mean?
AriatTEK technology refers to features engineered into the garment for optimal performance, often related to breathability, moisture management, or durability, catering to an active lifestyle.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Water resistance seems reduced after several washes.
The PFC-free EcoDry finish may diminish over time. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. If the jacket itself feels small, consider if a larger size is needed, although the stretch fabric is designed for comfort.
Jacket is not providing enough warmth.
This jacket is lightly insulated. For colder temperatures, layer a warmer mid-layer (like a fleece or down vest) underneath.
