Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

What is the First Light Stretch Hoodie?

It's a lightweight jacket designed with mapped insulation for multi-activity adventures and high-output pursuits, whether climbing a big backcountry wall, tackling an alpine face or ski touring with friends.

What is it made of?

Outer: The face of this jacket comprises 20D nylon ripstop, which may feel thin to touch, but is incredibly durable to withstand bumps and scrapes in rocky mountain terrain. The lighter outer enhances the breathability of the First Light Stretch, meaning even when working up a sweat, it'll help you keep more regulated and prevent moisture buildup.

This material is treated with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) to resist light rain or snow, although please note that this doesn't make it fully waterproof.

If you were wondering, PFC-free means perfluorinated chemical free. Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), used to add water repellent to textiles, aren't able to break down; so, once they reach nature via water waste from factories, they stay out there and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. PFC's are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect mammal reproduction and hormone production. Therefore, many leading brands in the outdoor industry are now prioritising cutting out the use of these chemicals entirely to contribute to a greener manufacturing process.

The fabric is also bluesign® approved, meaning it's manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.

Insulation: The insulation is mapped around the body to provide warmth only where needed, therefore, reducing overall weight and bulk. It's used around the torso to protect vital organs from the cold, in the arms and shoulders.

Primaloft® Gold Active is a synthetic insulation that provides ample warmth, even when wet. The ability to retain heat when wet is a huge advantage to synthetic insulation compared to down, alongside it being a vegan alternative. This insulation is also incredibly breathable and helps to regulate body temperature, balancing the body's microclimate when working hard. It's made from recycled polyester, which, though recycled, maintains performance and feel. This insulation does not migrate and has a four-way stretch to enhance flexibility and freedom of movement - perfect for climbing, ski touring, or even using hiking poles.

Lining: The jacket is lined with woven stretch nylon, which is smooth to touch, durable and stretchy enough to work coherently with other materials when you move. Using this fabric just makes sense - it doesn't add a crazy amount of weight, is low bulk, breathable and finishes the jacket neatly inside. What more do you need?

What are its features?

The hood is climbing helmet compatible and adjustable, allowing you to dial in the fit easily using the drawcord adjuster.

Underarm gussets take the stress away from vital seams and improve your range of motion around the shoulders; handy for reaching for the next hold or moving with ski poles.

Two concealed-zip hand pockets store small essentials like gloves, snacks and energy gels. There's also an internal chest pocket for valuables like a phone, wallet or set of keys. This internal pocket doubles up as a stow pocket for the jacket itself. It comes with a carabiner clip that allows you to clip it to a harness in changeable conditions, keeping the jacket accessible at all times.

You can easily cinch in the hem using the low profile, single adjuster with one hand to keep the breeze out and retain extra warmth during winter.

Features:

  • Migration-resistant Primaloft® Gold Active Insulation
  • 20D nylon ripstop face fabric with PFC-free DWR
  • Lightweight, stretchy lining for added breathability
  • Mapped insulation in shoulders, arms and body
  • Adjustable climbing helmet compatible hood with drawcord adjustment
