Aero-Lite Care Guide
The Aero-Lite™ Micro-Grid textile is engineered for high-transfer performance, requiring specific care to maintain its ultra-light structure and vapor efficiency. Cleaning Protocol: Always zip all closures (L-Pouches and Kinetic Seams) to protect the integrity of the flat-lock stitching. Use a mild liquid detergent on a cold water, delicate cycle. Avoid powdered detergents and fabric softeners at all costs, as residue clogs the micro-grid weave, reducing the material's critical Vapor Transfer Index (VTI). Air dry is optimal; if using a machine, tumble dry on absolutely no heat to prevent fiber damage. Longevity & Performance: Improper washing rapidly degrades the Aero-Lite's efficiency. Regular, correct cleaning prevents the buildup of metabolic salts and oils, which ensures the fabric remains light, breathable, and capable of achieving instantaneous moisture transfer throughout the garment’s entire lifecycle.
Warranty & Repair
At our core, we believe the most sustainable product is the one you already own. That's why we stand behind the quality and durability of our premium gear with a 10-Year Guarantee. Our Promise: Repair Before Replacement When you invest in our products, you're investing in gear built to last a decade, not a season. If your gear fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship within ten years of purchase, we will make it right. The Sustainability Value of Repair: Reduced Waste: Every piece of gear we repair is one less item sent to a landfill. Repairing a jacket uses a tiny fraction of the energy and resources required to manufacture a brand-new one. Longevity: Repairing minor damage—like a broken zipper or a seam tear—dramatically extends the useful life of the product, maximizing the value you receive from your purchase. Circular Economy: This commitment supports a circular approach to manufacturing, keeping valuable materials in use for as long as possible. How the Guarantee Works Assessment: Send your gear to our Repair Center. Our experts will assess the damage. Repair (Our Priority): If the damage is due to a defect, we will repair it free of charge. If it's general wear and tear (e.g., snagging your jacket on a sharp rock), we offer subsidized, low-cost repairs. Replacement (Last Resort): Only if the item is deemed irreparable due to a manufacturer's defect will we replace it with a new item or a voucher for the original purchase price.
