FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Ared 10000 fabric?

Ared 10000 fabric offers a balance of breathability, thermal insulation, and water repellency, making it suitable for various outdoor conditions.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is recommended to use a fully waterproof garment.

How is the jacket's warmth provided?

Warmth is provided by the Iloft Ecofill insulation, a high-performance fill made from 100% recycled polyester, combined with the insulating properties of the Ared 10000 fabric.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C (85°F) on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat for drying or ironing.

What does 'longline length' mean for this jacket?

A longline length means the jacket extends further down the body than a standard jacket, offering more coverage and warmth, particularly around the hips and thighs.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the jacket features two lower pockets that fasten with zippers, providing secure storage for your essentials.

What makes this jacket sustainable?

The jacket is constructed from 100% recycled polyester and uses Iloft Ecofill, which is also made from recycled materials, contributing to reduced environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oily substances that could stain the fabric.

Reduced water repellency

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment designed for technical outdoor clothing after washing and drying according to care instructions. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.

Jacket feels less warm than expected

Ensure the insulation is evenly distributed and not compressed. Check that all zippers and cuffs are properly closed to prevent heat loss. Consider layering with additional thermal base or mid-layers if in very cold conditions.

Fabric feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the garment is clean and free from dirt or residues that can block pores. Wash using a technical cleaner and avoid fabric softeners. Make sure you are not overheating due to insufficient ventilation (e.g., by opening the main zipper slightly).
