FAQs

What does the ARED 35/35 rating mean?

ARED 35/35K refers to the fabric's performance. '35,000mm' is the water column rating, indicating extreme waterproofness, and '35,000 gsm' is the breathability rating, meaning 35,000 grams of moisture vapor can escape through the fabric per square meter in 24 hours.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is windproof and provides excellent protection against the elements. For very cold temperatures, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers.

Can I use regular detergent to wash the jacket?

No, it is recommended to use a pure soap and avoid liquid detergents or fabric softeners, as they can negatively affect the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or when the breathability seems reduced, typically after several washes or significant wear.

What is AEP KINEMATICS technology?

AEP KINEMATICS is an ergonomic design technology that enhances freedom of movement and comfort by ensuring the garment's construction aligns with the body's natural motion.

Does the hood offer adjustability?

Yes, the grown-on technical hood features adjusters to allow for a secure and customized fit.

What kind of pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a zipped internal pocket for secure storage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof or breathable

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Ensure the jacket is clean and follow the care instructions for re-applying a waterproofing treatment.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (e.g., beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy inside during activity

While the jacket has high breathability, intense activity can still lead to internal moisture buildup. Ensure all vents are open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the DWR is still effective, as a compromised outer fabric can affect breathability.

Seams are leaking water

This indicates a potential issue with the taped seams. If the jacket is relatively new, contact customer support. If it's older, professional seam sealing may be required, though this is uncommon with properly cared-for taped seams.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional waterproofing and breathability (ARED 35/35)
  • Comprehensive water protection with taped seams and repellent zips
  • Unrestricted movement thanks to AEP KINEMATICS and articulated design
  • Effective windproof performance for cold conditions
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use

Cons

  • Advanced fabric may require specific care instructions
  • Highest level of protection might be overkill for mild conditions
  • Limited color options mentioned in product data

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This jacket requires no assembly. Ensure all zips are closed before wearing. Adjust the hood and cuffs for a secure fit.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult females, this jacket is engineered to be worn over mid-layers for added insulation in colder conditions. Its technical design is compatible with various outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, and mountaineering.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with a pure soap. Do not use liquid detergents or fabric softeners, as these can impair the fabric's performance.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of old towels to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
  • Re-proofing: For continued water repellency, re-apply a waterproofing treatment (e.g., Nikwax or Grangers) after washing, following the product's specific instructions.
