FAQs

What type of cycling is this jacket best suited for?

The Rab Cinder Kinetic Waterproof Jacket is designed for all types of cycling, including mountain biking, road cycling, and bikepacking, where protection from rain and wind is essential.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a technical wash. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood features a single-handed cinch with combined crown and face adjustment, and a stiffened peak for enhanced visibility and protection.

What does 'Proflex™' mean?

Proflex™ is Rab's proprietary 3-layer fabric technology that combines waterproofness, breathability, and stretch for enhanced comfort and performance.

How do I maintain the jacket's waterproofing?

Periodically re-apply a PFC-free DWR treatment to the outer fabric to restore its water-repellency. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-applying.

Can I wear a backpack with this jacket?

The jacket's design allows for movement, but wearing a backpack may affect the fit and access to the lumbar pocket. It's best suited for minimalist setups or when not using a large pack.

What is the Hydrostatic Head (HH) and MVTR rating?

The jacket has a Hydrostatic Head (HH) of 10,000 mm, indicating its waterproofness, and a Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) of 35,000g/m²/24 hrs, indicating its high breathability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all seams and zippers are properly sealed. Re-apply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric. Check for any damage to the PU membrane.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper cleaner if necessary.

Reduced breathability

Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical wash to remove dirt and oils that can clog the membrane pores. Ensure the hood and cuffs are clean.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can indicate high internal moisture. Ensure the main zipper is partially open for ventilation. Check that the jacket's breathability has not been compromised by dirt or residue on the fabric.
