The ARED 35/35K fabric provides exceptional waterproof protection (35,000mm water column) while also offering high breathability (35,000gsm), keeping the wearer dry from both external moisture and internal perspiration.
The jacket is designed for waterproofness and breathability. It provides a good outer layer but may require additional thermal layers underneath for protection against extreme cold.
Machine wash at 40°C with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid fabric softener and biological powder. Re-proofing may be necessary periodically.
The reflective branding and zip pullers enhance visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk or fog, improving safety for children when they are outdoors.
Yes, the jacket is made from recycled polyester stretch fabric and is PFAS-compliant, making it an eco-conscious choice.
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric provides excellent protection against the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, blocking at least 98% of UV radiation.
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce its waterproof and breathable properties.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and consider re-applying a DWR treatment if the water repellency has diminished. Check that taped seams are intact.
This can indicate that breathability limits are being reached during very high exertion. Ensure layers underneath are also breathable. For less intense activities, consider opening the zipper slightly.
Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning. Follow washing instructions carefully, especially regarding tumble drying and ironing, as excessive heat can damage reflective elements.
Adjust the technical hood for a snugger fit. Ensure it is properly positioned and secured according to its design (e.g., using any toggles or adjusters).
This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
