Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your waterproof parka. Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the jacket's waterproofing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry away from direct heat. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the PVC shell and waterproof treatment.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR-restoring product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
