Product Information
Full details
The Ariat Fusion Jacket is designed for active women who require a versatile outer layer that balances insulation with freedom of movement. By combining a durable, water-repellent nylon shell with high-stretch fleece panels, this jacket provides an excellent thermal layer for equestrian activities or outdoor chores in cool weather. While it excels at maintaining core warmth, users should note that the water-repellent finish is designed for light rain and wind protection rather than heavy, prolonged downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Does the jacket provide protection in heavy rain?
No, it is treated with a water-repellent finish intended for light rain and wind. It is not waterproof.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the combination of stretch fleece and the lightweight quilted core is designed for active use and high breathability.
Can I wear this as a layer under a heavier coat?
Yes, the slim, articulated fit makes it an ideal mid-layer for extremely cold conditions.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free indicates that the water-repellent treatment does not contain perfluorinated compounds, making it a more environmentally friendly manufacturing choice.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The water-repellent finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a PFC-free DWR spray treatment to the nylon shell.
Zipper is catching or not sliding smoothly
Check for fabric debris caught in the track. If clean, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a graphite pencil along the teeth to reduce friction.
Fleece panels are showing signs of pilling
Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz from the fleece areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Ariat Fusion Jacket, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings. To preserve the water-repellent performance, wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or ideally, hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the fleece panels. If the water-repellent performance begins to fade, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment recommended for technical outdoor clothing.
