Product Information
Full details
The Arc'teryx Kyanite Jacket is a versatile, high-performance mid-layer designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts who require a balance of warmth, mobility, and durability during activities like climbing, hiking, or camping. Featuring advanced Polartec Power Stretch Pro fabric, it offers exceptional 4-way stretch and a robust nylon face, though users should be aware that while it is highly breathable, it is not a windproof or waterproof outer shell on its own.

FAQs
Is the Kyanite Jacket windproof?
No, it is highly breathable and air-permeable. It is best used as a mid-layer beneath a windproof shell in exposed conditions.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it functions well as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions, but it provides little protection against wind or rain.
How does the sizing run?
The Kyanite uses a regular fit that is generally true to size. If you plan on layering bulky items underneath, consider your standard size.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the material is not waterproof and will soak through in heavy precipitation.
What is the purpose of the No Slip Zip?
The No Slip Zip features small, bump-like ridges that prevent the zipper from sliding down on its own, ensuring it stays at your preferred level of ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check the track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Wipe with a damp cloth if dirty.
Fabric pilling after long-term use
This can occur with high-friction areas. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills without damaging the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Kyanite features a regular fit that is designed to accommodate base layers while still fitting easily under a protective outer shell. For maintenance, machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of the Polartec fabric. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid dry cleaning or ironing to maintain the integrity of the technical fibers.
