FAQs

What does the ARED 35/35K rating mean?

The ARED 35/35K rating indicates the fabric's performance in waterproofness (35,000mm) and breathability (35,000/m²/24hr). Higher numbers signify better protection against water ingress and better moisture vapor transfer.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket offers excellent windproof performance and can be layered with insulating mid-layers for very cold conditions. While it provides a good barrier, its primary function is weather protection, and thermal insulation will depend on the layers worn underneath.

Can I use regular detergent to wash the jacket?

No, it is recommended to use a specialized technical wash. Regular detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable membranes and coatings.

How do I ensure the DWR finish lasts?

Always tumble dry on a low heat after washing to reactivate the DWR. Avoid excessive abrasion, and reapply a DWR treatment periodically if water no longer beads effectively on the surface.

What is AEP Kinematics technology?

AEP (Advanced Ergonomic Performance) Kinematics technology is designed to work with the body's natural movement. It involves ergonomic seam placement and stretch fabrics that allow for unrestricted articulation at critical points, enhancing agility and comfort during physical activity.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

The jacket is made from ARED 35/35K recycled fabric and is compliant with PFAS standards, indicating a commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof (water doesn't bead)

Reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by tumble drying on a low heat for 20 minutes. If ineffective, reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.

Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof

This may be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog pores. Wash with a technical cleaner and ensure it is thoroughly rinsed. Check if the garment is suitable for the current conditions; very high humidity can still lead to internal condensation.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Hood adjustment is ineffective

Ensure the drawcords are not tangled or obstructed. Check that the toggles are functioning correctly. Pull firmly on the drawcords to tighten and press the toggles to release.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional waterproof and breathable performance (35/35K rating)

  • Durable and built to withstand harsh conditions
  • High level of wind protection to combat cold
  • Technical features like a wired hood and fleece-lined collar enhance comfort

Cons

  • May have a performance-oriented fit that is less relaxed for casual wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure all zips are closed before first use.

Compatibility:

Designed as outerwear, this jacket can be layered over various base and mid-layers depending on the temperature and activity. It is compatible with most outdoor gear.

Care:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of specialized technical wash. Do NOT use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for at least 20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric.
  4. Re-Waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Always follow the product's specific instructions.
  5. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags for extended periods, as this can trap moisture.
