FAQs

What does ARED 30/30 mean?

ARED 30/30 refers to the fabric's rating for breathability (30,000/m²/24hrs) and waterproofness (30,000/m²/24hrs), indicating high performance in both areas.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket is designed for winter conditions and offers high warmth, but for extreme cold, consider layering with insulating base and mid-layers.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a technical fabric detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

How do I re-waterproof the jacket?

After washing and drying, apply a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor technical apparel, following the product's specific instructions.

What is the purpose of the integrated snowskirt?

The snowskirt is an elasticated band inside the jacket that helps seal out snow and wind, preventing them from entering the jacket, especially when falling or in deep snow.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester and features a PFC, PFOA, PFOS-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.

Does the hood have an adjustable toggle?

Yes, the hood features a grown-on design with an adjustable toggle, allowing you to cinch it tighter for better protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after washing and drying the jacket according to care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a wax-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels less breathable

The fabric may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.

Seams are leaking water

Seam tape can degrade over time. For minor leaks, a seam sealer can be applied. For significant issues, professional repair may be needed.
