Product Information
Full details
The Ariat Men's Rion Stretch Shell Insulated Jacket is designed for adult males seeking enhanced warmth and protection without sacrificing mobility. Its primary benefit is providing lightly insulated, breathable, wind, and water-resistant performance through a multi-layer stretch construction. A potential caveat is its specific focus on performance, meaning it might be less suited for casual, non-active wear where a bulkier, warmer jacket is preferred. Key features include AriatTEK technology, a PFC-free EcoDry finish, Cool Climate Insulation, and a convenient two-way front zip.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Ariat Men's Rion Stretch Shell Insulated Jacket?
The jacket is designed for adult males seeking lightweight warmth, breathability, and protection from wind and water during active outdoor pursuits.
How does the stretch construction benefit the wearer?
The multi-layer stretch construction (shell, lining, and insulation) ensures complete freedom of movement, preventing restriction during any activity.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
This jacket provides lightweight warmth and is best suited for cool to mild conditions, or as a layer in colder weather. For extreme cold, additional insulation would be required.
What does 'PFC-free EcoDry finish' mean?
It means the water-repellent treatment applied to the jacket does not contain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are considered harmful to the environment.
How should I care for the jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and periodically reapply a DWR finish to maintain water repellency.
Can I wear this jacket for casual everyday use?
Yes, while designed for performance, its features and style make it suitable for casual wear on cooler, damp days.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is primarily made of 87% Nylon and 13% Elastane, with 40g of Cool Climate Insulation.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced
Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Reapply a DWR finish according to the product's directions.
Jacket feels less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean. Fabric softeners or excessive dirt can impede breathability. Wash with a technical fabric wash if necessary.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the zipper area is free of debris. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Jacket is not warm enough
Layer a warmer insulating piece underneath. This jacket is designed for lightweight warmth and optimal performance when layered.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's performance and water-repellent properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of breathable fabrics and degrade water-repellent finishes.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
- Re-waterproofing: For best results, periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish using a spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outdoor apparel. Follow the product instructions carefully.
