FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the jacket is constructed with windproof materials to effectively reduce the impact of cold windchill.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle with non-biological detergent. Always check the internal garment tag for specific care symbols.

What does ARED 35/35 mean?

It refers to the fabric's technical rating, indicating a high level of both waterproof protection and breathability (35,000mm waterproof / 35,000g/m2/24hr breathability).

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, the Bluebird jacket includes an integrated hood designed to provide additional coverage against the elements.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket features a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more slim or tailored appearance, you may want to consider sizing down, though standard sizing is recommended for those who layer heavily.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Reapply a high-quality DWR spray and heat-set it according to the spray manufacturer's instructions.

Feeling damp inside the jacket during high-exertion

Ensure you are using breathable base layers. Avoid cotton, which traps moisture, and open the underarm ventilation zips before you start feeling overheated.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Clear any debris or fabric snagged in the zipper teeth. If stiffness persists, gently apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized technical garment cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, select a low-heat, delicate cycle to avoid damaging the synthetic insulation.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket is designed for standard layering. For extremely cold days, pair with a moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layer to optimize the breathability of the ARED fabric.
