FAQs

What does 'Ared 10/10' mean?

Ared 10/10 refers to the fabric's performance rating, indicating 10,000mm of waterproof protection and 10,000g/m²/24hr breathability.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, the jacket features high warmth insulation and is designed for cold weather activities like skiing. Layering appropriately underneath can further enhance warmth.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the 'Size Guide' section in the product description. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the provided measurements (XXL corresponds to a 48-inch chest).

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain, not just snow?

Absolutely. The Ared 10/10 technology and DWR finish provide excellent waterproofing suitable for heavy rain as well as snow.

What kind of maintenance does the DWR finish require?

The DWR finish can be refreshed by washing the jacket and then applying a DWR re-proofer. This should be done periodically to maintain its water-repellent properties.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made with PFC, PFOA, and PFOS-free materials, indicating a commitment to reducing harmful environmental chemicals.

What should I do if the snowskirt is bunching up?

Ensure the snowskirt is laid flat against your base layer or mid-layer. Adjust the jacket's hem using the adjustable drawcord to secure it properly.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not shedding water effectively.

The DWR finish may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's guidelines.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth if necessary.

Inner layer feels damp after strenuous activity.

Ensure all vents and zippers are open to maximize breathability. The garment is designed to be breathable, but in very high exertion, some moisture buildup can occur. Check that the wash cycle did not use fabric softener, which can impair breathability.
