Its key benefit is offering wind and light rain resistance with an active fit for freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that its water resistance is limited to light rain.

It's easy to pack away, making it a convenient layer for unpredictable weather.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the APEX7 Air Packable Jacket features a DWR finish designed for light rain and splashes. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.

How small does the jacket pack down?

The jacket is designed to be easily packable into its own chest pocket or a small stuff sack, making it very compact for travel or storage.

Can I wear a fleece jacket underneath?

Yes, you can wear a thin fleece or base layer underneath for added warmth. However, a very bulky mid-layer might feel snug due to the active fit.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

What does 'active fit' mean?

An active fit is a tailored cut designed for movement, typically being closer to the body without being restrictive, allowing for a full range of motion during athletic activities.

How do I restore the water repellency?

If water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore the DWR finish by washing the jacket and then applying a DWR re-proofing spray, following the spray's instructions.

Are there other color options available?

This guide specifically details the Green color variant. Please check the product listing for availability of other colors.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain.

This can occur due to perspiration. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and consider opening the jacket slightly for ventilation if not actively raining.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently try to wiggle the zipper. If it snags on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is clear before zipping.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions to restore water repellency for light rain.
