Product Information
Full details
The Arc'teryx Kyanite Jacket is designed for active adults who need a versatile, all-weather midlayer that balances thermal performance with maximum mobility. Combining a soft, moisture-wicking interior with a durable, abrasion-resistant nylon face, it serves as an excellent standalone piece or a comfortable layer under a hardshell. While it offers incredible freedom of movement, users should note that as a fleece, it is not windproof or waterproof on its own and requires an outer shell for extreme weather protection.

FAQs
Is the Kyanite Jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is intended to be used as a midlayer underneath a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
Can I wear this for high-intensity winter sports?
Yes, the breathable nature of the Polartec fabric makes it ideal for skiing or winter hiking where moisture management is key.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners.
Is the fit true to size?
The Kyanite features a regular fit, which is designed to be standard and accommodating for layering underneath.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, this specific model features two external hand pockets with laminated zippers.
What is the 'No Slip Zip'?
It is a specialized zipper mechanism that prevents the zipper from opening accidentally, ensuring it stays in place during movement.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure the fabric is kept clear of the zipper track and clean any debris from the zipper teeth using a soft brush.
Fabric appears to be pilling
Pilling is common with fleece; use a fabric shaver gently on the surface to remove pills and restore the smooth appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of its regular fit, the Kyanite Jacket is designed to sit comfortably over base layers and beneath standard-fit hardshells or insulated jackets. To maintain the integrity of the fabric, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. Always tumble dry on low heat to prevent fabric damage, and never bleach or dry clean the garment.
