FAQs
What does ARED 35/35 mean?
ARED 35/35 refers to the fabric's performance rating. '35' indicates a water column rating of 35,000mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 35,000mm high before leaking. The second '35' indicates a breathability rating of 35,000 gsm (grams per square meter per 24 hours), measuring how much water vapor can pass through the fabric.
Is this jacket suitable for everyday wear?
While highly protective, the jacket is engineered for demanding outdoor activities. Its technical features and robust construction make it ideal for hiking, mountaineering, and harsh weather, but it can also be worn for general outdoor use.
How do I ensure the waterproofness lasts?
Regular cleaning with a technical wash and periodic re-application of a DWR treatment are crucial for maintaining the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners.
What is AEP KINEMATICS?
AEP KINEMATICS is a technology that enhances fit and movement. It uses stretch fabric and ergonomic design, with specific articulation in critical areas, to provide unrestricted motion and comfort during active use.
Can I use a regular detergent to wash the jacket?
No, it is recommended to use a specialized technical wash detergent. Regular detergents and fabric softeners can degrade the waterproof and breathable membrane of the fabric.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Are the zips fully waterproof?
The jacket features water-repellent front zips and pocket zips, designed to resist water ingress. Combined with fully taped seams and a DWR finish, they provide comprehensive water protection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking or no longer repelling water
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a technical DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Ensure seams are still intact.
Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside
The jacket may be dirty or the waterproof membrane is blocked. Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical wash. Ensure you are using appropriate base layers to manage moisture.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zippers gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Hood adjustment is not secure
Check that the drawcords and toggles are clean and functioning correctly. Ensure they are pulled tight to secure the hood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup. It is designed for immediate use. Ensure all zips are fully closed before engaging in activities. Compatibility is focused on layering; wear appropriate base and mid-layers beneath for optimal thermal regulation.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a technical wash detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's membrane.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. Once dry, a low heat tumble dry can help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment (following the product's instructions) to ensure optimal water repellency, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
