FAQs
What is the ARED 30/30 fabric?
ARED 30/30 is a high-performance fabric technology that offers excellent waterproof (30,000 hydrostatic head), windproof, and breathable (30,000 g/m²/24hr MVTR) properties, keeping you protected and comfortable in extreme weather.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the jacket is designed with high warmth and padding to provide excellent insulation for cold winter conditions.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. Measure your chest and waist and compare them to the specified measurements for each size.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, its waterproof, windproof, and warm features make it suitable for other winter outdoor activities like hiking or snowboarding.
How often should I re-apply the DWR finish?
Re-apply the DWR finish when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface. This typically occurs after several washes or significant wear.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the jacket's water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
Does the hood offer adjustable fit?
Yes, the hood is a 'grown-on' style with a toggle adjuster, allowing you to cinch it for a more secure and protective fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water repellent
Wash the jacket according to care instructions and tumble dry. If repellency does not return, apply a DWR re-proofing treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth.
Snow seeps in from the hem
Ensure the adjustable hem toggles are tightened properly to create a snug seal.
Jacket feels less breathable
Check if the inner fabric is dirty or if the DWR finish needs reactivation. Clean the jacket and tumble dry. Consider a technical wash if buildup is suspected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This ski jacket requires no complex setup. Its primary function is to be worn. Ensure you consult the size guide before purchase to select the correct fit.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a technical wash or liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: Periodically, re-apply a DWR treatment (available from outdoor gear specialists) to restore water repellency, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
