Product Information

Full details

The Aubrion React Waterproof Coat is designed for adults seeking high-performance, sustainable outerwear for active outdoor use, particularly equestrian activities. Its key benefit is robust waterproof and breathable protection combined with a flattering fit that allows freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that while highly water-repellent, it's intended for protection against rain rather than prolonged submersion. This coat features advanced Eco-friendly waterproofing, a contour fit for rider movement, a two-way zip, and adjustable weather-proofing elements for versatile wear.

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this coat?

The Aubrion React coat is waterproof to 10,000mm.

How breathable is the fabric?

The fabric is breathable to 6000g/m2, allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the generous hood has draw-cord adjustability and is removable via a zipper.

What does 'Durable Water Repellent (DWR)' mean?

DWR is a finish applied to the fabric's outer surface that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated. The Bionic-Finish® Eco used is a sustainable, fluorine-free option.

Can I wash this coat in a machine?

Yes, machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.

How do I reactivate the water-repellent finish?

After washing, tumble dry on a low heat for about 20 minutes or iron on a low heat setting (no steam) with a protective cloth. This helps to reactivate the DWR treatment.

Is this coat suitable for extreme cold weather?

While it provides excellent rain and wind protection, its primary function is waterproofing and breathability. For extreme cold, layering with insulating garments underneath would be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the coat according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat or iron on a low heat setting to reactivate the existing DWR. If this does not resolve the issue, apply a new DWR treatment.

Coat feels clammy or damp inside during activity.

Ensure the main zipper is not fully closed if maximum ventilation is required. Check that the jacket is not overloaded with underlayers. While breathable, extreme exertion can still lead to some internal moisture buildup. Ensure the breathability rating is suitable for the activity intensity.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric storm flap is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Hood is not staying in place.

Tighten the draw-cord around the hood opening to secure it more snugly. If the hood is zipped on, ensure it is fully zipped and properly aligned.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against rain with high waterproofing.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity.
  • Sustainable DWR treatment is environmentally conscious.
  • Designed for rider freedom of movement.
  • Versatile adjustability for different weather conditions.
  • Stylish and comfortable internal lining.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extreme, prolonged wet conditions where submersion is possible.
  • The contour fit might be too specific for some body types.
  • Requires proper care to maintain DWR effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Aubrion React Waterproof Coat requires minimal setup. The hood is adjustable via a draw-cord and can be attached or detached using the zipper. Ensure all zips are fully closed before wear, and adjust the wrist cuffs and hem draw-cord for a snug fit.

Compatibility:

This coat is designed as unisex outerwear, with specific sizing available. Its performance features make it suitable for various outdoor activities, particularly those involving movement like horse riding.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties, and the DWR finish:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and coatings.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for about 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR treatment. Alternatively, hang dry and then iron on a low heat setting (no steam), placing a cloth between the iron and the fabric.
  4. Re-waterproofing: If the DWR finish appears to be failing (water no longer beads on the surface), a re-waterproofing treatment can be applied after washing, following the product's instructions. Specialized spray-on or wash-in reproofers are recommended.
