FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?
The jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer appropriately with thermal base layers and mid-layers to ensure adequate warmth.
How do I reapply the water-repellent treatment?
After washing and drying the jacket, you can use a spray-on or wash-in water-repellent product designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the specific instructions on the product you choose.
What does 'ARED 30/30' mean?
ARED 30/30 refers to the fabric's rating, indicating it is waterproof to 30,000mm and breathable to 30,000g/m²/24hrs, signifying high-level protection and comfort.
Can I wash this jacket with other clothes?
It is best to wash the jacket separately or with similar synthetic materials. Always close zippers and fastenings before washing to prevent snagging.
What is the purpose of the scrim back panel?
The scrim back panel likely provides enhanced comfort and moisture management against the skin, aiding in breathability and feel.
Does the hood offer adjustable volume?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on hood with a toggle adjuster, allowing you to customize the fit around your face for optimal protection from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the seams.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If the DWR coating is worn, reapply a water-repellent treatment after cleaning according to care instructions.
The jacket feels restrictive.
Adjust the cuffs and hem for a better fit. Ensure the hood is adjusted to not impede movement. The stretch fabric should allow for a wide range of motion.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.
Snow enters the jacket around the waist.
Ensure the integrated snowskirt is properly fastened and secured around your waist or base layer.
