FAQs

What does 'AEP Kenamatics technology' mean?

AEP Kenamatics refers to the ergonomic design of the jacket, specifically how it is articulated at critical movement points. This ensures the garment moves with your body during activity, providing unrestricted motion.

Is this jacket suitable for casual wear?

While the jacket offers excellent protection, its design with features like AEP Kenamatics and specific weather-sealing is optimized for active outdoor use. It can be worn casually, but its full benefits are realized during hiking or similar activities.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?

Machine wash at 30°C with a small amount of liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof and breathable membranes.

What is the benefit of the 3-layer construction?

A 3-layer construction integrates the waterproof/breathable membrane between a durable outer fabric and a protective inner lining. This provides excellent protection, breathability, and comfort in a single, robust layer.

Can I wear a fleece or other layers underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to accommodate layering. Its cut allows for base layers and mid-layers, such as fleeces, to be worn underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. A general guideline is to re-apply when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface. Typically, this might be after several washes or significant wear.

Is the jacket fully windproof?

Yes, the jacket features windproof performance as part of its fully weather-sealed design, which includes taped seams and a water-repellent finish, to effectively block out windchill.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or oils. Reapply a DWR treatment following the product instructions. Check that all seams are intact and zippers are functioning correctly.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Breathability seems reduced

Wash the jacket according to care instructions using a technical detergent. Ensure the inner lining is clean and that underarm vents are open when needed.

Hood does not fit comfortably over helmet

Adjust the wired edge of the hood for a better fit. Ensure the jacket size allows adequate space for the helmet underneath. The hood is designed for compatibility, but fit can vary with helmet style.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for harsh weather.
  • Unrestricted movement due to AEP Kenamatics technology and stretch fabric.
  • Durable and reliable construction with taped seams.
  • Thoughtful trail-specific features enhance functionality.
  • Made with recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability.

Cons

  • May be overly technical for casual wear.
  • Requires specific care to maintain waterproof properties.
  • A wired hood might be less comfortable for some users when not wearing a helmet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires minimal setup upon arrival; it is ready to wear. Ensure all zips are fastened and cuffs/hem are adjusted for optimal weather protection before heading out.

Compatibility:

The jacket is designed to be compatible with most hiking apparel. Its cut allows for layering over base and mid-layers. The helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit over most standard hiking helmets.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergent, fabric softeners, or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results, add a couple of clean towels to help restore the fabric's loft and water repellency.
  4. Re-waterproofing: Periodically, after washing and drying, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to the product's instructions to revive the water-repellent finish.
