Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its water-repellent properties and performance, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally or tumble dry on a low heat setting to preserve the softshell laminate.
- Reproofing: If the water-repellent finish begins to wear off after heavy use, apply a standard DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for softshell garments.
- Printing: If you intend to add branding, ensure your printer or decorator uses techniques suitable for polyester softshell fabrics, such as low-bleed inks or specific heat-transfer vinyls to prevent scorching.
