HOW DO I WASH AND CARE FOR MY AQUATHERM AND AQUATHERM FLEECE GARMENTS?

For Aquatherm®, Superstretch Aquatherm® and Aquatherm Fleece®: Turn garment inside out. Short, warm, delicate wash, max 40 degrees in mild soapy water, (not detergent). Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not spin. Do not wring. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Do not bleach. Do not dry over hot radiators or near excessive heat.

Hang garments from their cuffs and neck to ensure that if there should be any water ingress in the double fabric seals then it can drain easily.

WHY IS THERE WATER IN THE CUFFS/NECK SEALS OF MY AQUATHERM GARMENT?

Sometimes the double fabric cuffs, neck & ankle seals make take in small amounts of water during use or when washed. This can be easily remedied when drying the garment by hanging it on the line by its cuffs, neck or ankle seals, thus allowing any water to drain out.

The possible ingress of water into cuffs, neck & ankle seals will not compromise the serviceability of your garment, it is due to taping on the knitted surface on the inside of the garments. The garment itself remains waterproof, keeping you dry and comfortable. We see any small ingress issue as a minor trade-off against the excellent features of a comfortable knitted surface on the inside of Reed garments and non-splitting, non-latex, comfortable double Aquatherm cuffs & seals.

HOW DO I WASH AND CARE FOR MY TRANSPIRE FLEECE GARMENTS?

Turn inside out. Short, warm wash, max 40 degrees in mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Air dry or spin. Warm iron. Do not bleach. May be dried over radiators but not on excessive heat. Very low heat tumble dry.

Touring Cag

Brilliant as ever from Reed!

Disappointing material. Poor fit.

I've owned a Reed Chillcheater short sleeved Cag since about 2008, it was my favourite 3 season Cag for about 8 years, I loved it. I dipped out of paddling for several years, but have recently reignited my interest. Amazingly, my 'old' Reed S/S Cag still fitted, and if it weren’t for the seams coming away in a few places, it could easily pass as new. Given my previous experience, I had no hesitation in jumping in with Reed again. I checked my measurements against the sizing chart several times (I hate the faff and expense of having to return stuff, especially when suppliers can't get the measurements right), it seemed that the XL would bang on for me at 6'3", my old Cag was also XL, so it seemed the sizing hadn't changed since 2008 so I pressed buy (after including my chest and bicep measurements as requested). The Cag arrived within 48hrs, just in time for my evening paddle. Thankfully, I tried it on before leaving the house, and that was when the euphoria bubble burst. The fit, and feel is nothing like my old Reed Cag. Here's where it falls short in my view:
1) Sleeves too short - they want to ride up when mimicking the paddling motion.
2) The material used for the cuffs is different, it's snug fitting but feels abrasive in comparison with the cuffs of the old version, the combination of the riding up and the material makes me feel that this is going to chafe like crazy (plus one of the cuffs is badly finished/frayed at the edges, adding to the suspicion that this is inferior material to that previously used).
3) The collar is a total disaster. I chose the touring cag version this time round (my previous Cag was a closed neck seal and despite being the close fit needed for a watertight seal, it was supremely comfortable). The neck arrangement on the new Cag has to be the worst I've ever come across, it's neither comfortable in the zipped up position, or the open position. The material to accommodate the zip is just too stiff for the purpose, just standing motionless is uncomfortable, and when mimicking a paddling motion, I could immediately feel it chafing my neck (high up under my chin), this was in both the open and closed positions, as well as when trying varying zip positions.
There is just too much material around the neck, it bunches up at the nape, giving the same sensation you get when you put a jersey on back to front.
4) The material is a lot thicker than my old Cag, which was so supple you could easily forget you had it on. The 'new' material is not just stiff, it's noisy. Instead of the silky elasticity of my old one, it has a restrictive resistance to it (when mimicking the paddling motion) which does not aid a fluid movement, and is also extremely irritating, as the material combined with some weird tailoring, means it rides up (when mimicking the paddling motion).
5) Weight.. it feels nearly twice the weight of the 'old' version. Some of this is due to the zip/collar paraphernalia but the majority seems to be due to the thickness of the material.
6) No Free Returns. Yes, I knew this when I ordered it. As a boringly predictable body shape/proportion for my height, Reeds sizing chart should have been a 'no brainer'. If Reed are going to charge their customers for returns, then they really should provide better sizing info to assist in getting the right fit.

The lightest thermal technical outer layer for all season paddling, offering unrestricted freedom of movement. Made from Aquatherm®Fabric.

Warm, dry, all year round coverage in these unisex, lightweight, comfortable and roomy Cags. Enough volume to get extra thermal layers underneath for colder conditions.

Aquatherm® Single Seal Neck and Cuff System

(bicep seals only on this product)

The New type seals offer a better stretch and seal while maintaining its impressive integrity.

Made from a single layer of Aquatherm the material is inverted for comfort on the wrists.
This gives the cuff seal a good firm degree of stretch and is far hardier than some other wrist seals.

Aquatherm cuffs are to be trimmed by the paddler to ensure a custom fit for your discipline whether comfort, performance or a mix of both is required, instructions supplied.

The necks can also be trimmed if required.
