Ariat Ladies Coastal Waterproof Jacket - Monstera - M

DRYShield™ is Ariat's proprietary technology that provides waterproof and breathable protection, rated at 10k/10k. This means it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter per day, keeping you dry from rain and comfortable by managing internal moisture.

Yes, the hood is designed to be removable, allowing you to adapt the jacket's coverage and appearance based on the weather or your preference.

Saddle vents are typically located on the back of the jacket, often near the hem or sides. They are designed to provide extra airflow and prevent overheating when in a riding position, enhancing comfort.

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

The EcoDry™ finish is a water-repellent treatment applied to the fabric that is PFC-free, meaning it does not contain perfluorinated chemicals. This makes it a more environmentally friendly option for repelling water.

It means that the materials used in the jacket's construction meet the strict environmental, health, and safety requirements set by bluesign®. This ensures responsible resource use and minimizes the impact on people and the environment throughout the manufacturing process.

While the jacket provides excellent waterproofing and wind resistance, it is designed as an outer shell. For very cold weather, layering with insulating clothing underneath would be recommended for warmth.

Ensure the PFC-free EcoDry™ finish is intact. For best results, follow the care instructions carefully, avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying, which can degrade the finish. Re-treating the jacket with a suitable waterproofing agent may be necessary after extended wear.

Check the zipper for any debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the pencil lead along the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant for smoother operation.

The breathability can be affected by dirt and oils. Ensure the jacket is clean by washing it according to the care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane responsible for breathability. Ensure internal pockets are clear of debris.
