Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket does not require any complex setup; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure the longevity of the nylon fabric and the integrity of the thermal insulation, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Because of the technical nature of the material, professional dry cleaning is the only recommended method to clean the jacket. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the insulation properties and cause the fabric to lose its structural shape. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent the nylon from developing permanent creases.
