FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, but use a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear and avoid fabric softeners.

What does the 35/35 rating mean?

It refers to the high waterproof and breathability ratings of the ARED fabric technology, optimized for high-intensity activity.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket is designed with functional outdoor use in mind, typically featuring adjustable elements to ensure a secure fit against the wind.

Can I wear this in the winter?

The jacket provides a windproof and waterproof shell, but it is not insulated. You should layer it with a fleece or synthetic mid-layer for cold weather.

Does the stretch fabric affect the fit?

The stretch material allows for a closer, more ergonomic fit without feeling restricted, so it should fit true to size.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading off the surface of the fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical garment cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment.

Feeling damp inside the jacket despite being waterproof

This is often caused by trapped perspiration. Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers and adjust your ventilation if the jacket features underarm or chest vents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof rating for heavy rain protection
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during intense activity
  • Stretch material provides an ergonomic, non-restrictive fit
  • Windproof construction protects against harsh mountain gusts
  • Articulated design caters to active outdoor movement

Cons

  • Requires technical laundry detergents to preserve waterproofing
  • May require layering for extreme winter temperatures
  • Not intended for casual urban settings compared to dedicated lifestyle shells

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the ARED 35/35 fabric, proper maintenance is essential. Always consult the care label inside the garment before washing. It is recommended to wash the jacket using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof-breathable fabrics, as standard detergents can strip the water-repellent finish. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach. After washing, re-activating the outer water-repellent finish through a gentle tumble dry or iron on low heat (if specified on the label) is recommended. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew.
