Product Information

Full details

This jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection during challenging outdoor activities. Its key benefit is offering superior waterproof, breathable, and windproof performance with unrestricted movement, thanks to AEP kenamatics technology. A potential caveat is its focus on active use, meaning it might be less suited for casual, everyday wear where maximum breathability isn't the primary concern. The jacket features ARED 20/30 fabric, taped seams, stretch construction, and ergonomic design for comfort and durability in all conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'ARED 20/30' mean?

ARED 20/30 refers to the waterproof and breathability rating of the fabric. '20' typically denotes the hydrostatic head (waterproofness) in thousands of mm, and '30' the breathability in thousands of g/m²/24hrs, indicating high levels of protection and comfort.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed as a shell layer. While it provides excellent windproof and waterproof protection, it does not offer significant insulation. For cold weather, layering with insulating mid-layers is recommended.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

Re-applying DWR treatment is recommended after every few washes, or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the fabric. Follow the instructions on the DWR product you use.

Can I wear a helmet with this hood?

Yes, the hood is specifically designed to be helmet-compatible, allowing for improved visibility and protection when worn over a standard hiking or climbing helmet.

What are the 'articulation points' mentioned?

Articulation points are strategically designed areas in the jacket, particularly around the shoulders and elbows, that allow for natural, unrestricted movement of the arms without the fabric pulling or restricting motion.

Is the jacket made from recycled materials?

Yes, the jacket is crafted with recycled polyester fabric, contributing to sustainability while maintaining performance and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not beading water effectively.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following the product care instructions.

Reduced breathability or feeling damp inside.

Ensure all vents are open during activity. The jacket may require washing to remove accumulated sweat and oils that can clog pores. Check care instructions for proper washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a silicone spray specifically designed for zippers.

Fit feels restrictive during certain movements.

Verify you have selected the correct size. Ensure any internal layers are not too bulky. The AEP kenamatics technology is designed for movement, so significant restriction may indicate an incorrect size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for harsh weather.
  • Designed for unrestricted movement with AEP kenamatics.
  • Durable construction with taped seams and windproof features.
  • Comfortable and lightweight stretch fabric made from recycled materials.
  • Practical features like ventilation zips and a helmet-compatible hood.

Cons

  • May be over-engineered for casual, low-activity use.
  • Focus on technical features might make it less appealing for purely fashion-oriented needs.
  • Specific care instructions are required to maintain waterproof properties.
  • Stretch fabric, while providing freedom, might be prone to snagging on rough terrain if not careful.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zips are closed and adjustable elements (cuffs, hem, hood) are secured before use.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, its sizing should be checked against the provided size chart. The helmet-compatible hood allows for use with most standard hiking or climbing helmets.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out at 40°C (104°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of tennis balls to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, re-apply a DWR treatment after washing, following the product's instructions. This helps maintain water repellency.
