ARED 35/35K refers to the jacket's performance rating. '35' indicates a hydrostatic head of 35,000mm, meaning it can withstand a water column of 35,000mm before leaking. The second '35' refers to the breathability rating of 35,000gsm (grams per square meter per 24 hours), indicating how well moisture vapor can escape from the inside.
The jacket itself is a waterproof and windproof shell. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers (like fleece) and base layers to provide warmth.
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent or technical wash. Do not use fabric softener or powder detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
The jacket has a UPF 50+ rating, which means it blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent protection for the skin.
No, the hood is a grown-on technical hood and cannot be removed.
The reflective branding and zip pullers are designed to enhance visibility and are integrated to withstand normal wear and tear. Following care instructions will help maintain their reflectivity.
The adjustable cuffs and hook-and-loop fastening are suitable for all sizes. The adjustable shock cord hem is recommended for ages 7 and above.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical wash and tumble dry on a low heat setting. If the issue persists, re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product instructions.
While breathable, extreme activity levels or insufficient ventilation can lead to internal moisture. Ensure zippers are used effectively for ventilation. If using a backpack, ensure it's not obstructing ventilation points. Check that the garment is not overly layered for the activity and conditions.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If any tape appears damaged, contact customer support. This is unlikely with a new product but can occur with significant wear and tear.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Test the zipper's movement.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the size is correct for optimal fit and comfort. Adjust the cuffs and hem (for ages 7+) to secure the fit before use.
Compatibility: Designed for general outdoor wear and activities. Compatible with other base and mid-layers for varying temperatures.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:
