FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of the Aubrion React Coat?
The coat is waterproof to 10,000mm, which is considered high-spec and suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the generous hood is adjustable and can be zipped on or off according to the wearer's preference and weather conditions.
What makes the finish eco-friendly?
The coat uses Bionic-Finish® Eco, which is a fluorine-free water-repellent technology that is more environmentally conscious than traditional treatments.
How should I care for this coat to maintain its water repellency?
Follow the care instructions: wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a mild process with zippers closed. Periodically reapply a DWR re-proofer to maintain the water-repellent properties, especially after washing.
Can I wear this coat in very cold weather?
The coat provides good protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer with warm insulating garments underneath, as the coat itself is not heavily insulated.
What does the two-way zip do?
The two-way zip allows you to open the coat from both the top and the bottom. This is particularly useful when riding, as it can provide extra space and comfort when in a seated position.
What are the dimensions for the sizes?
Specific sizing charts are not provided in the product information. However, the 'Contour Fit' suggests a design that follows the body's shape, offering both a flattering look and freedom of movement. It is recommended to consult a retailer's size guide if available.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric instead of beading off.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have degraded. Wash the coat according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR re-proofer. Ensure the coat is not over-dried or ironed on high heat, as this can damage the finish.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Make sure to close all zippers before washing to prevent damage.
Hood is not fitting securely.
Adjust the draw-cords on the hood to tighten the fit around the face. Ensure the hood is properly zipped onto the coat if it has been removed.
Coat feels clammy or damp inside during activity.
While the coat is breathable, intense physical activity can still lead to moisture buildup. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture. Check that the breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue; consider a gentle wash.
