FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The Ambient Jacket is designed for cooler weather and wind protection. For extremely cold conditions, layering with warmer insulating garments underneath would be necessary.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Reapply a PFC-free water-repellent treatment if needed.
What is the difference between GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ and GORE WINDSTOPPER®?
GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ focuses on breathability, water resistance, and lightweight comfort, while GORE WINDSTOPPER® specifically targets full windproof protection. This jacket utilizes both technologies for comprehensive performance.
Can I wear a bulky sweater under this jacket?
The jacket has a slim fit, so while it can accommodate a light to medium layer, bulky sweaters may restrict movement. It is designed to work best with thinner, performance-oriented base or mid-layers.
How reflective is the detailing on the jacket?
The jacket features reflective detailing on the full-length zip and other strategic points to enhance visibility. While helpful, it is intended to supplement, not replace, active lighting in very low-light or dark conditions.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The jacket is exceptionally lightweight, weighing approximately 105g.
Is the jacket completely waterproof?
The jacket offers significant water resistance due to its GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ technology, meaning it can handle light rain or showers. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels clammy or damp inside
This may be due to internal moisture buildup from perspiration. Ensure ventilation zips are open and consider if the temperature is within the jacket's optimal range. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The jacket offers water resistance, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, a more robust waterproof garment may be needed. If water resistance has decreased over time, it may be time to reapply a PFC-free water-repellent treatment.
Zip is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zip. Gently pull the fabric away from the zip. If it persists, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant applied to the zip teeth may help.
