Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the ARED 35/35 fabric provides excellent windproof protection against mountain gusts.

Can I remove the hood?

Please check the inner collar for specific attachment points, but typically this model features a fixed, adjustable hood.

What is the best way to wash this jacket?

Use a specialized technical detergent on a cool, gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener.

Is the fabric stretchy?

Yes, the jacket uses ARED stretch fabric combined with AEP Kinematics for superior mobility.

Will this fit over a thick fleece?

The jacket is cut for active use, so it accommodates a base layer and a standard fleece; for very bulky layers, you may find the fit tight in the arms.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

If water no longer beads up on the surface after a light wash, it is time to re-apply a DWR treatment.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off; re-apply a technical DWR spray and heat-activate according to the product instructions.

Zippers are sticking

Clean any debris or ice from the zipper track and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax to restore smooth movement.

Feeling overheated during exercise

Utilize the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow and consider removing a mid-layer to optimize your layering system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and breathable rating (35k/35k)
  • Stretch fabric construction allows for full range of motion
  • Comprehensive ski-specific features including dedicated pockets
  • High-warmth insulation for cold weather performance

Cons

  • Insulation weight may be too heavy for mild conditions
  • Polyester material requires specific care to maintain waterproof coating
  • Limited to specific sizing options in the current blue colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your jacket, ensure all zippers are closed before washing. Wash the garment on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical detergent designed for waterproof apparel. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. For the best maintenance, tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry; occasionally re-apply a DWR spray treatment if you notice water is no longer beading off the surface of the jacket. The jacket is designed to be compatible with standard adult ski helmets and functions best when layered over a moisture-wicking base layer and a light mid-layer.
