Mountain Equipment Mens Arclight Jacket Cayenne

Code:MEARCJCA

M.E.’s Arclight Jacket is their most breathable, fully weatherproof jacket out there. Made from super breathable Polartec NoeShell fabric, this jacket is ideal for the fast moving, highly active mountain goer. Polartec NeoShell has a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm so it does a great job at keeping water at bay; this fabric comes into its own in the cold and rapidly changing conditions that you find on long, multi-day ski tours.

The Mountain Hood is fully adjustable with a smaller cranium volume than the Mountain HC Hood. Unfortunately this mean that you can’t fit a helmet underneath, however this hood provides a more secure and precise fit, which is what this jacket is all about.

Sticking with the secure and precise fit theme, Mountain Equipment has constructed this jacket around their Alpine Fit Block. This is a close fitting cut yet it still allows room for low volume layers and has been built with manoeuvrability in mind. M.E. have used a new shoulder construction and new seam placements to reduce tightness and “bagging” in one foul swoop.

The guys at M.E. have used all of their Storm Construction techniques during the design and build of the jacket. Everything form seam construction, placements and taping; which face fabrics to use, bar tack reinforcement and storm guarded YKK Aquaguard zips. Fort Knox Federal Gold Reserve has nothing on this jacket when it comes to keeping things out.

  • POLARTEC NeoShell® fabric; weatherproof,
  • stretchy and exceptionally breathable
  • Mountain Hood is fully adjustable
  • Alpine fit with articulated and pre-shaped sleeves
  • Storm Construction techniques used throughout
  • 2-way YKK moulded Aquaguard centre front zip
  • 2 large pockets with YKK® moulded Aquaguard zips
  • 2-way YKK WR underarm pit zips with laminated and bonded entry
  • Adjustable laminated cuffs and dual tether hem drawcords

Most people are scared to wash and reproof their outdoor jackets, but like all equipment it does need to be maintained. It is actually really easy! Feel free to give the shop a call from 09:00 until 17:30 Monday to Saturday (19:30 on a Wednesday), as we are always happy to help and give friendly advice.

Or if you are reading this outside our normal opening hours here is a useful link to Trekitt's recommended product for washing and caring for kit.

Care and maintenance

To keep your outdoor clothing and equipment in tip top condition and performing to its maximum we recommend the use of Nikwax products. We have been using Nikwax products since day one (26th March 1986) and have found them to be totally reliable, dependable and effective. Today’s Nikwax treatments contain environmentally friendly elastic water-repellent polymers that bond to fabric fibres, leaving the spaces between open and breathable. These stretchy polymers are able to stretch and move with the fabric so they stay put for longer and work better.

Nikwax treatments will not change the look or feel of the fabric and they are all water based, environmentally safe, non-flammable and contain no nasty Fluorocarbons. Nikwax products can be used to clean, re-proof and revitalise all your outdoor technical clothing and equipment.

Waterproof breathable clothing has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish applied to the face fabric during the manufacturing process. The DWR forces water to bead up and roll off the surface therefore preventing the fabric from absorbing moisture. If the outside of your jacket is soaked in a layer of cold water, the warm damp air within can’t escape and will condense on the inside. This makes the jacket feel cold clammy and can make you think that it’s leaking. The DWR finish is not permanent and needs to be maintained and revitalised to optimise performance.

This three layer waterproof jacket should be cleaned regularly with Nikwax Tech Wash; I wash my jacket about once a month, or more often if it gets really filthy. Regular washing with Tech Wash will maintain the DWR for longer and remove salts and oils that can contaminate the fabric, and it will keep your lovely jacket clean and smelling fresh. Washing can be done in a machine according to the manufacturers care guidelines (on the internal label). First clean out any detergent and conditioner residue from the machine dispenser and then add the required amount of Tech Wash and away you go. Hand washing is also suitable but be sure to rinse the garment well.

When you notice that rain/water is no longer beading up and rolling off it’s time to re-proof. Nikwax TX Direct will re-instate a long lasting DWR to completely rejuvenate your jacket. Re-proofing can also be done in the machine once a garment has been washed. Just add the TX-Direct and use the same programme you used for washing. You can also use the spray-on product on a damp garment that has just been washed.

You wouldn’t buy a Ferrari and never have it serviced, so make sure you regularly wash and re-proof your quality kit.
