FAQs
Is the Kyanite Jacket windproof?
No, it is designed for breathability and warmth. It will let wind through, so it is best paired with a windproof or waterproof shell in harsh conditions.
Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?
Yes, it functions well as a standalone piece in cool, dry conditions or during high-output activities where you need to regulate heat.
Does it fit true to size?
The Kyanite uses an Arc'teryx 'regular fit', which is designed to be comfortable and accommodate mid-weight layers underneath.
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
If washed and dried according to the care instructions (cold water, low heat), the fabric should maintain its size and shape well.
What is the benefit of the laminated zippers?
Laminated zippers are cleaner, more durable, and offer better water resistance than standard exposed zippers.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check for fabric stuck in the zipper track or debris. If clear, use a specialized zipper lubricant or rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to improve movement.
Pilling on the surface fabric
Use a fabric shaver or pill comb gently on the affected area to remove loose fibers without compromising the integrity of the fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Kyanite Jacket is designed for a regular fit, which allows for easy layering over a base layer and under a shell. To maintain the performance of the fleece material, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and degrade the moisture-wicking and thermal properties. Tumble dry on low heat. Always ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent damage to the fabric or the zipper tracks.
