FAQs
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, camping, and trail running, where protection from rain and wind is needed while maintaining breathability.
How do I choose the right size?
Please consult the 'Size Guide' section in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' instructions. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the provided UK sizes.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer with insulating mid-layers to retain body heat.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergent or bleach. Follow the specific care instructions provided for best results.
What does 'ARED 15/15' mean?
ARED 15/15 refers to the jacket's technical fabric rating. '15000mm' indicates its waterproof rating (resistance to water pressure), and '15000g/m²/24hrs' indicates its breathability rating (how much moisture vapor can pass through).
Does the jacket have a removable hood?
No, this jacket features a 'Grown On Hood' which is permanently attached and integrated into the design.
How do I care for the waterproof finish?
To maintain the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting after washing. This helps reactivate the coating. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impair the finish.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the fabric surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. If this does not restore performance, a DWR re-treatment spray may be required.
Jacket feels less breathable or allows moisture through.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Follow the care instructions for washing. Check that ventilation zips are open during activity. A mild detergent is recommended to avoid residue.
Zips are stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently clean the zip teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. You can also apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
Hood is not staying in place or is too loose.
Adjust the drawcords on the hood to achieve a snugger fit. Ensure the wired peak is positioned correctly to maintain shape and visibility.
