Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, ensure you follow the care label instructions. Typically, this involves washing on a gentle cycle with a specialized tech-wash detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable fabric. To maintain the 10000mm waterproof rating, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after several heavy washes or extended seasons of use. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew. The jacket is designed to be worn over base layers or light fleeces; check the sizing guide if you plan on layering heavily underneath for winter use.
