FAQs

What makes this jacket 'Ultra Light'?

The 'Ultra Light' designation refers to the jacket's minimal weight achieved through advanced, thin yet durable ARED 15/15 fabric and streamlined design, making it easy to carry and wear without feeling encumbered.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

While the jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection, its primary function is lightweight weather resistance. For very cold conditions, layering with insulated mid-layers is recommended.

How do I ensure the waterproofness lasts?

Regularly clean the jacket using appropriate technical washes and reapply a DWR treatment periodically. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents, which can degrade the fabric's performance.

Can the hood be removed?

The hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be removed.

What is the benefit of the wired peak on the hood?

The wired peak allows for better shaping and adjustability, helping to keep rain and wind away from the face while maintaining visibility.

Does this jacket have pockets?

While not explicitly detailed, most jackets of this type include hand pockets. Please refer to product imagery or specifications for exact pocket configuration.

What does UPF 50+ shielding mean?

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric provides a very high level of ultraviolet (UV) radiation protection, blocking at least 98% of UV rays when worn.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the fabric surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or hot inside.

Ensure all zippers are fully open for maximum ventilation and that the garment is not too tightly layered underneath. Check that the breathability of inner layers is not compromised.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Verify that the garment has been properly cared for and that no harsh chemicals or excessive heat have damaged the seam tape. If damage is evident, professional repair might be needed.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can impede the fabric's performance.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically, following the product instructions. This can often be done during the washing cycle using specialized products.
