FAQs

What is the ARED 20/30 rating?

ARED 20/30 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathability rating. It indicates a high level of protection against water penetration (20,000mm) and good breathability (30,000g/m²/24hrs), suitable for intense activity in severe weather.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is a shell layer designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For very cold weather, layering is recommended. Wear insulating base and mid-layers underneath to adapt to lower temperatures.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The jacket should allow for movement with base and mid-layers underneath. Check the size guide and try it on, ensuring you can move your arms freely without restriction at the shoulders or elbows. The hem and cuffs should also provide a snug fit.

Is the material recycled?

Yes, the jacket is crafted with lightweight stretch construction using recycled polyester fabric, contributing to sustainability.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface, typically after several washes or extensive use. Follow the instructions on your chosen DWR product.

What is the main advantage of the 3-layer construction?

The 3-layer construction provides excellent durability and comfort by bonding the waterproof/breathable membrane between a protective outer fabric and an inner lining, ensuring long-lasting performance and a comfortable feel against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat. If performance does not improve, reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Sweat and dirt can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane. Wash with a technical wash and check that underarm vents are open and clear of obstruction.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Avoid using petroleum-based lubricants.

Hood adjustment is loose or ineffective.

Check that all drawcords and toggles are properly secured. Ensure the wired peak is correctly positioned to maintain shape and provide visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zips and adjusters are familiarized before use.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, this jacket is built for outdoor activities. Its features, such as the helmet-compatible hood and articulated sleeves, are optimized for hiking, trekking, and other adventurous pursuits. It layers well over base and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with a technical wash detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the fabric's performance.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of towels to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions after washing and drying.
