Product Information
Full details
The Arc'teryx Kyanite Jacket is a versatile, high-performance fleece designed for active adults who engage in hiking, climbing, or general everyday outdoor use. It excels by offering a perfect blend of thermal warmth and extreme four-way stretch, allowing for unrestricted movement during rigorous activities; however, potential buyers should note that as a technical fleece, it is not windproof and serves best as a mid-layer rather than an outer shell in extreme weather.

FAQs
Is the Kyanite jacket waterproof?
No, the Kyanite is made of polyester fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to be worn under a waterproof shell.
Can I wear this as my only jacket in winter?
It is generally not windproof, so while it is very warm, it should be paired with a windbreaker or shell for true winter conditions.
How does the sizing compare to other Arc'teryx gear?
The Kyanite is designed as a regular fit, which is true to size for most adults, allowing enough room for a base layer underneath.
What is the 'No Slip Zip'?
The No Slip Zip is a proprietary front zipper that features 'speed bumps' on the teeth to prevent the zipper from sliding down on its own.
Does this jacket have a hood?
This specific model is the jacket version, which features a standard collar rather than a hood.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check the zipper teeth for lint or debris. Clean with a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the guard.
Pilling occurs on the cuffs or hem
While the Tanica stretch fabric is designed to resist wear, surface pilling can be removed with a fabric shaver; avoid pulling at the threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Kyanite Jacket is ready to wear immediately out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the Polartec Power Stretch Pro fabric, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild liquid detergent.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the performance properties of the fleece.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Ensure the zipper is closed before washing to protect the teeth.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a dry area to prevent moisture buildup within the fibers.
