ARED 20/30 refers to the waterproof and breathable rating of the fabric. It means the fabric can withstand a water column pressure of 20,000mm and allows 30,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours (gsm/m²/24hrs).
Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Periodically re-proof with a technical fabric treatment to maintain water repellency.
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it when not needed for specific weather conditions or activities.
AEP KINEMATICS is an engineering technology that uses stretch fabric and ergonomic design, with articulation at key motion points, to provide unrestricted movement and enhanced comfort during active use.
This jacket is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. For very cold temperatures, it's designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
