FAQs

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

The ARED 35/35 fabric provides exceptional waterproofing (35,000mm) to keep you dry in heavy rain and high breathability (35,000 gsm) to allow moisture vapor to escape, ensuring comfort during activity.

How does the AEP KINEMATICS technology help?

AEP KINEMATICS is an ergonomic design technology that, combined with articulated sleeves and stretch fabric, enhances freedom of movement and agility, making it easier to navigate challenging terrain.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and care. It's recommended to re-apply when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface of the jacket, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Can I use fabric softener when washing the jacket?

No, fabric softener should never be used as it can clog the membrane pores, reduce breathability, and damage the DWR finish.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use a small amount of liquid technical wash or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's performance.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent wind and water protection, which are crucial in cold weather. However, for extreme cold, layering with appropriate insulating mid and base layers is essential, as the jacket itself is primarily a shell.

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 penetrating through the needle holes, ensuring complete waterproofness.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions and tumble dry on a low heat to activate it.

Water seeping through seams.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and the DWR finish is intact. If seams are damaged, professional repair may be needed. Regular washing without fabric softener can help maintain seam integrity.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

While the jacket is highly breathable, intense activity can still lead to moisture buildup. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and adjust ventilation if possible. Check that the internal fabric is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional waterproof and breathable performance for extreme conditions.
  • Designed for unrestricted movement and agility.
  • Durable construction for longevity in rugged environments.
  • Comprehensive protection against wind and water.
  • Comfortable fit with adjustable features.

Cons

  • High technical specifications may require specific care for optimal performance.
  • The focus is on performance, potentially lacking casual styling elements.
  • May be overkill for light weather conditions.
  • Breathability, while high, can still be a factor in intense aerobic activities if not managed correctly.
  • Requires regular maintenance of DWR finish and seam sealing for peak performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the hood, cuffs, and hem for a personalized fit. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.

Compatibility: Designed for outdoor activities like hiking, mountaineering, and trekking. It is suitable for use with other base layers and mid-layers depending on the weather conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a small amount of liquid technical detergent. Do *not* use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a clean tennis ball. Alternatively, hang dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Re-proofing: To restore the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, use a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer suitable for technical waterproof fabrics. Follow the product's instructions, and typically, a tumble dry on a low heat will help activate the DWR treatment after application.
