Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter hiking?

This jacket provides excellent waterproofing and windproofing, but it is lightweight and designed for breathability. For cold winter conditions, it's best used as an outer shell layered over warm insulating mid-layers.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

What does 'Breathe Easy' refer to?

'Breathe Easy' refers to the jacket's high level of breathability, which allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside, keeping you more comfortable during physical activity.

Can I adjust the hood?

Yes, the grown-on technical hood features a wired peak and adjustable toggles, allowing you to customize the fit and ensure it stays in place and provides good visibility, even in windy or rainy conditions.

What is the fabric made of?

The jacket is crafted from recycled 2.5-layer ARED 20/30 fabric, which offers a balance of waterproofing, breathability, and stretch.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The jacket features functional water-repellent zipped pockets, designed to help keep your essentials dry from light splashes and rain.

How do I maintain the jacket's waterproofing?

Regular washing with a mild detergent and occasional re-application of a DWR treatment will help maintain the jacket's water-repellent properties.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat, or apply a dedicated re-waterproofing spray/wash-in treatment as per product instructions.

Water is leaking through the seams.

Ensure all seams are fully intact. If leaks persist, the seam tape may be damaged. Contact customer support for assessment or repair options.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any dirt or salt residue. Lubricate the zip teeth with a wax-based product (like a candle or specific zip lubricant) if necessary. Ensure the fabric isn't caught in the zip.

Underarm vents are not opening smoothly.

Check for any fabric obstructions caught in the zip. Clean the zip as described above if it feels stiff.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof capabilities for reliable weather protection.
  • Highly breathable to prevent overheating during strenuous activities.
  • Lightweight and stretchy construction allows for excellent freedom of movement.
  • Sustainable design using recycled fabric.
  • Practical features like underarm ventilation and a wired hood enhance usability.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient insulation for very cold weather conditions on its own.
  • The lightweight nature means it's primarily for active use rather than casual, everyday warmth.
  • Focuses on technical performance, potentially offering a less fashion-forward aesthetic for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as an outer layer for outdoor activities. It layers well over base layers and mid-layers (like fleeces or light insulated jackets) for added warmth. Compatible with most hiking apparel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish periodically, following the product manufacturer's instructions for re-proofer application after washing and drying.
