FAQs

What is the main benefit of the ARED 35/35 fabric?

The ARED 35/35 fabric provides exceptional waterproofing (35,000mm) and high breathability (35,000 gsm), ensuring you stay dry from external moisture and comfortable by allowing perspiration to escape.

How does the AEP KINEMATICS technology benefit the wearer?

AEP KINEMATICS technology is integrated into the design to provide unrestricted movement and enhanced comfort. It uses ergonomic design and articulation at key motion points to improve agility and power during active use.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the technical wire peaked hood is grown-on and features adjusters, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection against the elements.

How do I re-waterproof the jacket?

To re-waterproof, clean the jacket and then apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outdoor clothing. Always follow the specific product's instructions.

Can I use fabric softener when washing the jacket?

No, fabric softeners should not be used as they can clog the pores of the fabric and impair its waterproof and breathable performance.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket are covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through the tiny holes created by the needle during stitching, ensuring complete waterproof protection.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket itself is windproof and waterproof, providing an excellent outer shell. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer appropriate insulating mid-layers and base layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.

Zips feel stiff or are difficult to move.

Gently clean the zips with a soft brush and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers if necessary.

Jacket feels damp inside, even when not raining.

This may be due to insufficient breathability. Ensure the garment is clean and that the waterproof membrane is not blocked by dirt or residue. Check if the inner fabric is touching skin, which can cause condensation.

Seams appear to be failing.

Inspect the taped seams. If they are peeling or damaged, professional repair might be needed. Avoid machine drying on high heat, which can damage seam tape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a non-biological detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can impair the fabric's performance.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, periodically re-proof the jacket using a specific DWR spray or wash-in product suitable for technical outdoor clothing. Follow the product instructions carefully. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
