FAQs
What is the main advantage of the ARED 35K/35K fabric?
The ARED 35K/35K fabric provides exceptionally high levels of waterproofing (35,000mm) and breathability (35,000g/m²/24hrs), offering superior protection and comfort in extreme weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for intense physical activity?
Yes, the jacket's high breathability rating and AEP Kenamtics technology for unrestricted movement make it ideal for intense activities like mountaineering, hiking, and climbing.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What does 'fully taped seams' mean?
Fully taped seams mean that every seam on the jacket has been sealed with waterproof tape, preventing water from penetrating through the stitching.
Can I wear this jacket in mild weather?
While it is designed for harsh conditions, its breathability allows for comfortable wear in milder weather if layered appropriately. However, it may be warmer than a standard jacket.
How does the AEP Kenamtics technology improve performance?
AEP Kenamtics technology uses ergonomic design and articulation at key points to ensure the jacket provides a natural range of motion, preventing restriction during dynamic movements.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Please refer to the manufacturer's official website or the retailer's product page for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking through seams.
Ensure all seams are fully taped. If damage is suspected, professional repair may be needed. Ensure no damage to the fabric or taping.
Reduced water repellency (water soaks into the fabric).
The DWR finish may need reactivating or reapplying. Try a low heat tumble dry cycle. If ineffective, apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Check if the inside of the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Wash according to care instructions with a technical wash.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if needed. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. It is designed as outerwear and is compatible with various base layers and mid-layers suitable for outdoor activities. To maintain its performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash solution designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the membrane.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. A low heat tumble dry can help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR treatment to restore water repellency. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably uncompressed, to prevent creasing and maintain fabric integrity.
