FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
No, the Arec III is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or spray but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for cool, windy, and lightly wet conditions, functioning effectively as a midlayer or outer shell in such environments.
Can I wear a thick fleece under this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. While it is a midlayer itself, it can accommodate thinner fleeces or base layers underneath for added warmth.
How do I wash and care for the jacket?
Machine wash at 30 degrees with similar colors. Avoid bleach, use a low heat tumble dry, and do not iron or dry clean.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from Polyester, which provides durability and stretch.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is a grown-on style and is not adjustable. However, the hem is adjustable to help lock out the chill.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash, following the product's specific care instructions.
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and avoid harsh detergents. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can be applied to the teeth for smoother operation.
