FAQs

What is EcoDRY technology?

EcoDRY is a water-repellent technology used by Ariat that is free from perfluorinated compounds (PFCs). It helps water bead off the fabric's surface, keeping you dry in wet conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket features Cool Climate Insulation™ for warmth without bulk, making it ideal for cool and transitional weather. For extreme cold, it is best used as a layering piece over insulating garments.

Can I wear this jacket for intense physical activity?

Yes, the three-layer stretch construction and breathable materials are designed for comfort and freedom of movement during active pursuits like hiking or riding.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.

What does 'slim fit' mean for this jacket?

Slim fit refers to a closer-to-body cut that minimizes excess fabric for a streamlined look and efficient layering. It allows for movement but is not a loose or relaxed fit.

How should I re-waterproof the jacket?

To maintain water repellency, use a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofer specifically designed for technical outerwear. Always follow the instructions on the re-waterproofing product. You can also try reactivating the existing DWR by tumble drying on low heat after washing.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 87% nylon and 13% elastane for the main material, with 40g of Cool Climate Insulation™.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The EcoDRY finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying on low heat after washing to reactivate the DWR. If performance is still low, consider using a PFC-free re-waterproofing treatment.

Jacket feels restrictive.

Ensure you are using the correct size. If the fit is snug, try layering with thinner base layers rather than thick mid-layers. The stretch fabric is designed for movement, but the slim fit prioritizes a streamlined silhouette.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. If the zipper is stiff, you can try applying a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the double-slider zipper is properly aligned before zipping.
