Product Information
Full details
This women's 3-layer hiking jacket is designed for adult females seeking robust protection during challenging outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is providing superior waterproof, breathable, and windproof performance with unrestricted movement thanks to AEP kenamatics technology. A potential caveat is that while offering full weather protection, the jacket's articulated design might require users to correctly assess their fit for optimal mobility. Key features include ARED 20/30 fabric, stretch construction, and a fully weather-sealed design.

FAQs
What makes this jacket '3-layer'?
A 3-layer construction means the waterproof/breathable membrane is sandwiched between a durable outer fabric and a protective inner lining, providing excellent durability and performance.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and water, making it a great outer shell. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers to provide warmth.
Can I wear a helmet with this jacket?
Yes, the jacket features a helmet-compatible wired hood designed to fit comfortably over most standard climbing or ski helmets.
What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for high-energy outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, climbing, skiing, and mountaineering in challenging weather conditions.
How do I maintain the jacket's waterproofness?
Regular washing with a technical cleaner and re-applying a DWR finish as needed are crucial for maintaining its waterproof and breathable properties.
What does AEP Kenamatics technology do?
AEP Kenamatics technology involves specific design and articulation at key movement points in the garment to ensure unrestricted mobility during active use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the garment has been washed correctly using a technical cleaner. Reapply a DWR treatment as per the product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Reduced breathability
Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical cleaner to remove any dirt or residue that may be blocking the pores of the fabric. Ensure the vents are open during use.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil.
Jacket feels restrictive
Ensure the jacket is the correct size and that all adjustment points (cuffs, hem) are set appropriately. Confirm that the articulation features are not hindered by base layers.

- Thoughtful design features like ventilation zips and a secure inner pocket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed for adult females. It features a helmet-compatible hood, making it suitable for activities where head protection is worn. The adjustable cuffs and hem allow for a customized fit.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F) with a technical wash product. Avoid using powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable membranes.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators.
- Re-proofing: For optimal performance, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish after washing according to the product's instructions, typically every few washes or when water no longer beads on the surface. This helps maintain the jacket's water-repellency.
