This women's hiking jacket is designed for adult females seeking reliable protection during outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is the ARED 20/30 waterproof and breathable fabric, ensuring comfort in changing weather. A potential consideration is that while highly water-resistant, it is not entirely impervious to extreme, prolonged submersion. The jacket features stretch construction, articulated design for freedom of movement, a detachable hood, taped seams, and windproof performance. It is made from a blend of recycled and polyester materials and incorporates AEP KINEMATICS technology.

The jacket provides windproof protection and can be layered with insulating mid-layers. While it offers protection against wind chill, it is not a heavy-duty insulated jacket for extreme cold on its own.
Wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a liquid detergent and rinse twice. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically.
ARED 20/30 refers to the jacket's technical rating for waterproofness and breathability. Higher numbers generally indicate better performance. This rating ensures significant protection against rain and allows moisture vapor to escape.
Yes, the stretch construction and articulated design allow for comfortable wear with a backpack. The material is also abrasion-resistant, providing some durability against backpack straps.
AEP KINEMATICS is a technology that focuses on ergonomic performance and body mapping to ensure the garment's design allows for unrestricted movement and enhanced comfort during physical activity.
The jacket complies with PFAS standards, indicating it is manufactured with reduced or no harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, aligning with environmental and safety regulations.
The hood is attached via a zipper and possibly studs. Locate the zipper around the collar area and carefully unzip to detach. To reattach, align the zipper and carefully zip it back into place.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then lubricate with beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant.
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean and free from body oils and dirt. Check that any vents or openings are not obstructed. If the issue persists, the DWR coating might need refreshing.
Ensure the hood is securely attached via the zip and studs. Adjust the drawcords around the hood opening and the wired peak for a snugger fit. Make sure the hood is zipped fully into its channel.
Setup:
The jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the cuffs and hem for a secure fit. The hood can be attached or detached using the provided zip and stud system.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed as an outer layer and is compatible with various mid-layers (e.g., fleece, base layers) for added insulation in colder weather. It is suitable for adult women and can be worn for a wide range of outdoor activities.
