FAQs

What does 'ARED 20/30' mean?

ARED 20/30 refers to the fabric's performance rating. It indicates a waterproof rating of 20,000mm and a breathability rating of 30,000/m²/24hrs, signifying high levels of protection against water and excellent vapor permeability.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed as a shell layer. For very cold weather, layering with a warm insulated mid-layer and a thermal base layer is recommended to achieve full warmth.

How do I care for the waterproof coating?

Regular washing with a technical cleaner and occasional re-application of a DWR treatment will help maintain the waterproof coating's effectiveness. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying.

Can the hood be detached?

The hood is typically integrated into the jacket design for full weather protection and does not detach, but it is adjustable and helmet-compatible.

What is AEP Kenamatics technology?

AEP Kenamatics is an ergonomic design philosophy focused on body mapping to create apparel that moves naturally with the body at critical articulation points, enhancing freedom of movement.

Does the jacket have an inner pocket?

Yes, the jacket features a secure inner pocket designed to keep essentials like a phone or keys safe and dry.

What materials are used in this jacket?

The jacket is primarily constructed from recycled polyester, featuring ARED 20/30 waterproof and breathable fabric with a water-repellent finish.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is active. If not, wash the jacket and apply a re-proofer. Check that all seams are properly taped and undamaged.

Reduced breathability

Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical wash to remove dirt and oils that can clog the membrane pores. Ensure underarm vents are open when needed.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zippers with water and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary. Avoid forcing stiff zippers.

Hood does not fit correctly over a helmet

Adjust the wired brim and drawcords to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the helmet is positioned correctly before adjusting the hood.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for all weather conditions.
  • Superior freedom of movement due to AEP kenamatics and stretch fabric.
  • Durable and windproof construction offers reliable protection.
  • Thoughtful design with practical features for outdoor activities.
  • Made with recycled materials, aligning with sustainability values.

Cons

  • May be too specialized for casual, everyday wear.
  • The helmet-compatible hood might add bulk when not in use.
  • Specific sizing may require careful consideration for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure all zips and adjusters are familiarized with before your first outing.

Compatibility:

  • Layering: Designed as an outer shell, it is compatible with various base and mid-layers for different temperature conditions. The articulated fit allows for layering without restriction.
  • Headwear: Features a helmet-compatible hood, designed to fit comfortably over most climbing or cycling helmets. It also functions well without headwear.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  • Re-proofing: For sustained water repellency, a re-proofer can be applied after washing and drying, following the product's specific instructions. Most re-proofers can be applied during the tumble dry cycle.
