Product Information

Full details

This 3-layer hiking jacket is designed for women seeking unrestricted movement and full protection during challenging outdoor activities. Its key benefit is superior waterproof, breathable, and windproof performance combined with a lightweight, recycled polyester fabric that allows for natural movement. A potential caveat is its specialized design for active use, which might make it feel less suited for casual, everyday wear compared to more general-purpose jackets. Key features include AEP kenamatics technology for articulated movement, ARED 20/30 fabric, stretch construction, taped seams, and trail-ready details like a helmet-compatible hood and underarm ventilation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is AEP kenamatics technology?

AEP kenamatics technology is an ergonomic design system that uses articulation at critical movement points to provide unrestricted freedom of movement, allowing for greater agility during active pursuits.

What does 'ARED 20/30' mean?

ARED 20/30 refers to the jacket's fabric rating, indicating its performance in terms of waterproofness (20,000mm) and breathability (30,000/m²/24hrs). Higher numbers signify better protection and comfort.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed as a 3-layer system. You can layer a warm insulating jacket or fleece underneath to adapt to colder temperatures.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and powder detergents. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Periodic re-proofing is recommended.

Is the jacket suitable for activities other than hiking?

Yes, its design for unrestricted movement and weather protection makes it suitable for a variety of outdoor activities such as climbing, trekking, cycling in adverse weather, and general outdoor exploration.

What should I do if the jacket's water repellency seems to decrease?

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Clean the jacket and then apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Is the jacket made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the jacket is crafted with recycled polyester fabric, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or breathable.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outdoor fabrics.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil.

Fit feels restrictive during movement.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. Check that no internal layers are bunching up. The jacket is designed for articulation, but extremely bulky mid-layers might still affect freedom of movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no specific setup. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zippers are closed before use to maximize weather protection.

Compatibility:

The jacket is designed for a range of outdoor activities. The helmet-compatible hood ensures it can be worn comfortably over climbing or cycling helmets. The ergonomic design allows for layering underneath during colder conditions.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not use high heat.
  4. Re-proofing: For best results, periodically re-proof the jacket using a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor apparel. Follow the product instructions for the re-proofing agent.
