Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating and the integrity of the insulation, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Always check the internal care label. Use a mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle if machine washable, though hand washing is often preferred to preserve the fabric structure.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket in a shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the waterproof finish and synthetic padding.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry closet on a sturdy hanger to maintain the shape of the padding and collar.
- Maintenance: If the water-beading effect fades, consider applying a garment-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after cleaning.
