FAQs

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is engineered for demanding outdoor pursuits such as hiking, trekking, mountaineering, and climbing in challenging weather conditions, where high levels of waterproofing and breathability are required.

How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?

If water stops beading up on the fabric's surface and instead soaks in, it's time to consider reapplying the DWR treatment after cleaning and drying the jacket.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

The jacket itself is designed for weather protection. For cold temperatures, you will need to layer appropriately underneath with insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the technical hood features a wire peak and is fully adjustable via drawcords to provide a secure and customized fit, ensuring visibility is maintained.

What does 'ARED 35/35K' mean?

ARED 35/35K refers to the fabric's performance rating. The first '35' indicates a 35,000mm water column (waterproofness), and the second '35K' indicates 35,000gsm breathability (how much water vapor can pass through).

Can I wash this jacket with regular detergent?

No, it is recommended to use a small amount of liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor gear. Regular detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable membranes.

What is AEP KINEMATICS technology?

AEP KINEMATICS is a body-mapping technology that ensures the garment's design works in harmony with your body's natural movements, providing enhanced articulation and comfort during activity.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the jacket's surface

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and tumble dry on low heat. If effectiveness does not improve, reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside

Ensure the jacket is clean; dirt and residue can block pores. Wash using liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly. Check that pit zips (if applicable) are open.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Seam tape is peeling

This indicates potential damage to the waterproof seal. Contact customer support for repair or replacement options. Avoid further use in wet conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance
  • Enhanced mobility due to AEP KINEMATICS and articulated sleeves
  • Durable construction suitable for harsh outdoor conditions
  • Sustainable material (recycled polyester)

  • May be overkill for casual use or light rain
  • Technical features might require some adjustment time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket requires no assembly. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use. Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem using the integrated toggles and Velcro straps for a secure, weather-tight fit.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for outdoor activities and can be layered over base and mid-layers for additional warmth. It is compatible with most hiking backpacks.

Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a clean tennis ball to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Alternatively, hang dry, then tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes once dry.
  4. Re-proofing: Reapply a DWR treatment periodically (e.g., using Nikwax or Grangers products) following the product's instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
