Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Explore III Jacket, proper maintenance of the technical fabric is essential. Always wash the jacket according to the care label, typically using a mild, technical garment cleaner that does not strip the waterproof membrane. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the breathable fabric. After several seasons or heavy use, the DWR coating may need to be reactivated; this is often achieved by tumble-drying the jacket on a low, gentle heat setting or applying a specialist spray-on waterproofing treatment. Ensure all zippers and velcro cuffs are closed before putting the jacket in the wash to prevent snags.
