FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Aerotherm HD is wind-resistant and breathable. It is not fully waterproof and is not intended to replace a dedicated rain shell in heavy storms.

Can I wear this while wearing a climbing harness?

Yes, the streamlined fit is specifically designed to minimize bulk around the waist, making it highly compatible with climbing harnesses.

How does the fit compare to other brands?

This jacket features an active, streamlined fit. If you prefer to layer heavily underneath, you may want to consider your size requirements carefully.

What is the primary material used?

The jacket is constructed using high-quality polyester, utilizing EXOLITE 45 double weave fabric for the exterior.

Does it have an adjustable hood?

Yes, it features an adjustable hood designed to provide reliable coverage against wind and light elements.

Troubleshooting

Water beading is no longer effective on the surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical DWR spray treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Zipper is sticking or not sliding smoothly.

Check for grit or loose threads in the zipper track. Carefully clear the path and use a silicone-based zipper lubricant if the stiffness persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of wind resistance and breathability
  • Lightweight and highly packable for active pursuits
  • Moisture-wicking lining excels during high-intensity activity
  • Athletic fit allows for full range of motion
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Aerotherm HD, adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Layering: Wear as an outer layer during high-exertion activities or as an active mid-layer under a waterproof hard-shell during storms.
  2. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild, technical-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's wicking and wind-resistant properties.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the fibers. If tumble drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly inspect zippers for debris and ensure the hood adjustment cords are free from tangles to maintain full functionality in the field.
