Full details

This jacket is designed for women engaging in high-intensity outdoor activities, particularly hiking, who need reliable protection from unpredictable weather without added bulk. Its key benefit is delivering robust waterproof and breathable performance using ARED 15/15 fabric. A potential consideration is that while lightweight, its focus is on technical function over casual styling.

FAQs

What does ARED 15/15 mean?

ARED 15/15 refers to the fabric's performance rating. It signifies 15,000mm of waterproofness (resistance to water pressure) and 15,000g/m²/24hr of breathability (how much water vapor can pass through the fabric).

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the ARED 15/15 fabric combined with fully sealed seams provides excellent protection against heavy rain.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, layering with insulating mid-layers (like fleece or down) is recommended.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or prolonged use.

What kind of detergent should I use?

It is best to use a liquid technical wash or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric's performance.

Does the hood offer adjustability?

Yes, the hood is grown-on with a wired peak for better shaping and protection. It also has stretch binding for a secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the surface of the jacket.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable water repellent treatment according to the product's instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the garment is clean and free from detergent or fabric softener residue. Wash and rinse thoroughly. Check that ventilation zips are open as needed.

Seams appear to be leaking.

This is uncommon with fully seam-sealed construction. Ensure the outer fabric is clean. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly is required. Ensure all zippers are closed before wearing.

Compatibility: Designed for women's outdoor activities. It can be layered over base or mid-layers depending on weather conditions.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a ball of paper or tennis balls to help reactivate the water-repellent finish. Alternatively, hang to dry and then iron on a low heat setting with a towel placed between the iron and the jacket.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, re-proof the jacket periodically using a suitable spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment designed for technical outerwear.
