FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the APEX7 Air Packable Jacket features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, making it water-resistant against light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to be easily packed. Fold it neatly and then stuff it into its own zipped chest pocket or a separate small bag for ultimate portability.

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

It is best suited for cool, windy conditions, and light rain. It acts as an excellent windbreaker and offers protection from brief showers, ideal for transitional weather.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than cycling?

Yes, while optimized for cycling with its active fit, it is suitable for a variety of outdoor activities like running, hiking, or everyday wear when lightweight protection is needed.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and DWR treatment.

What does 'active fit' mean?

An active fit is designed to be closer to the body to allow for maximum freedom of movement during physical activity, reducing excess fabric that could hinder performance.

Is the chest pocket large enough for a phone?

The zipped chest pocket is designed for small essentials. It may fit some smaller smartphones, but its primary purpose is for items like keys, cards, or a small multi-tool.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stuck

Gently try to move the slider while pulling the fabric taut. If a fabric snag is visible, carefully try to free it. Lubricating the zipper teeth with graphite (from a pencil) can help.

DWR finish seems less effective

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel after cleaning to restore water repellency.

Jacket feels restrictive

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The active fit is designed for movement; if it feels too tight, consider if a different size might be more suitable for your intended use.

Reflective details are peeling

Avoid high heat when drying and do not iron directly on the reflective areas. If peeling occurs, cease further washing or drying cycles that might exacerbate the damage.
