Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?

Yes, it provides excellent protection against wind and rain, though you should wear appropriate thermal mid-layers underneath for warmth.

Does the hood interfere with climbing helmets?

The hood is designed to be technical and adjustable, though fit over a helmet depends on the helmet's size and shape.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, provided you use a technical cleaner and avoid fabric softeners, as standard detergents can damage the waterproof coating.

What does 35/35K mean?

It refers to the fabric's water column pressure (35,000mm) and its breathability rate (35,000g/m2/24hr), indicating high performance.

Is the jacket windproof?

Yes, the fabric is constructed to be windproof, which helps eliminate windchill during exposure to high-altitude winds.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical detergent and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a re-proofing spray.

Feeling damp inside despite no rain leaks.

This is often caused by condensation from internal sweat. Ensure you are not overdressing beneath the jacket and utilize the breathability features by adjusting layers.

Zippers feel stiff or difficult to pull.

Check for debris or dirt in the zipper teeth. Clean gently with a soft brush and avoid using lubricants, which can attract more dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the ARED membrane, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a technical fabric cleaner specifically designed for waterproof gear rather than standard laundry detergent.
  2. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Do not use fabric softeners, as these clog the pores of the membrane and compromise breathability.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Storage: Always store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew buildup.
  5. Compatibility: This garment is designed as a shell layer. It is fully compatible with lightweight down, synthetic mid-layers, or moisture-wicking base layers to create a complete mountain-ready kit.
