Full details

FAQs

What does 10,000mm waterproof mean?

A 10,000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water without leaking. This is generally considered good waterproofing for most outdoor activities.

How do I re-activate the DWR finish?

You can often reactivate the DWR by tumble drying the clean garment on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. If this doesn't restore performance, a new DWR treatment may be needed.

Can I use powder detergent to wash the coat?

No, powder detergents can leave residue and impair the fabric's performance. Always use a liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outerwear.

Is the coat suitable for extreme cold?

The coat provides excellent protection against rain and wind, but it is a shell layer. For extreme cold, layering with insulated garments underneath is recommended.

What is Bionic-Finish® Eco?

It is a high-performance, fluorine-free water-repellent finish that is more environmentally friendly than traditional treatments.

Can the hood be completely removed?

Yes, the hood is zip-on and can be completely removed according to the wearer's preference or weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the coat and reapply a suitable DWR treatment as per product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax if necessary.

Hood is not staying in place.

Tighten the draw-cord adjusters on the hood and ensure the zip attachment is secure.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside.

Ensure the inner lining is clean and free of dirt or oils that could clog the membrane. Check for any blockages in the venting areas, if applicable. Wash according to care instructions.

  • Eco-friendly water-repellent treatment reduces environmental impact.
  • Designed for rider comfort and freedom of movement.
  • Adaptable features for various weather conditions.
  • Stylish design with premium finishing touches.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Aubrion React coat requires minimal setup. The hood can be attached or detached via its zip. Ensure all zips are fully closed and adjusters are set for optimal comfort and protection before use.

Compatibility:

This coat is designed primarily for adult riders but can be worn by anyone seeking a high-performance waterproof jacket. It is suitable for various outdoor activities beyond riding, such as hiking, dog walking, or general outdoor work.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Close all zips and fastenings before washing.
  2. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or powders.
  3. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
  4. Hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  5. To re-waterproof, use a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing product designed for technical outdoor clothing, following the product's specific instructions. Re-applying the DWR finish periodically will help maintain the beading effect.
