FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the AEP Kenamatics technology?

AEP Kenamatics technology is designed to provide unrestricted movement through articulation at critical points, allowing the jacket to move with your body during active pursuits.

How waterproof is the ARED 20/30 fabric?

ARED 20/30 is a high-performance fabric that offers superior waterproof and breathable protection, suitable for heavy rain and high-energy activities.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed as a shell layer. You can layer insulating clothing underneath (like fleece or down) to adapt it for colder conditions.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is helmet-compatible and features a wired peak, along with adjustable elements to ensure a secure fit and optimal coverage.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

What does '3 Layer' mean in the product name?

A 3-layer construction means the waterproof and breathable membrane is sandwiched between a durable outer fabric and a protective inner lining, offering enhanced durability and comfort.

Are there any features for ventilation?

Yes, the jacket includes underarm ventilation zips that can be opened to release heat and improve airflow during strenuous activity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-treatment spray or wash-in product.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash using a technical cleaner and ensure all pockets are emptied. Check that ventilation zips are open when needed.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers to improve movement.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Ensure all seams are intact. If there is minor damage, a seam sealer can be applied. If the damage is significant, contact customer support.
