FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of the ARED 20/30 fabric?

The ARED 20/30 fabric has a water column rating of 30,000 and a breathability rating of 30,000 gsm/24 hours, indicating excellent waterproofness and high breathability.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the hood is detachable and can be adjusted with drawcords and a wired peak for customized protection.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket provides windproof protection, but for extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it over warm insulating mid-layers.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical wash detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat. Reapply DWR as needed.

What does AEP KINEMATICS technology do?

AEP KINEMATICS is engineered for unrestricted movement and enhanced comfort, using stretch fabric and ergonomic design with articulation at key motion points for agility.

Are the seams taped?

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams to ensure complete water protection.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 75% recycled polyester and 25% polyester stretch fabric.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside during heavy rain.

Ensure all zips are fully closed and the seams are intact. Check if the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs reapplication. If the issue persists, the breathability rating may be reached under extreme conditions.

Hood is not staying in place.

Adjust the hood drawcords and toggles for a tighter fit. Ensure the wired peak is correctly positioned. If the hood is detached, reattach it securely.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance (ARED 30/30K).
  • Designed for unrestricted movement and agility.
  • Durable construction suitable for challenging outdoor environments.
  • Protects effectively against windchill.
  • Versatile with a detachable hood.

Cons

  • Technical design may be overly specialized for casual use.
  • Specific sizing might require careful checking.
  • While water-repellent, prolonged heavy downpours might test its limits over time without reapplication of DWR.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket is ready to wear out of the package. The hood can be detached or adjusted using the drawcords and toggles for a secure fit. Cuffs can be tightened with the hook-and-loop fasteners, and the hem can be adjusted with internal drawcords.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for outdoor activities and can be layered over base layers or mid-layers for added warmth. Its design is compatible with most hiking backpacks and harnesses.

Care: To maintain performance, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results, reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) finish periodically, following the product instructions.
