Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply put on the jacket over your desired layers. Adjust the hook & loop cuffs, hood drawcords, and hem drawcord to achieve a comfortable and secure fit that seals out drafts and moisture.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for everyday wear and casual outdoor activities. It pairs well with various outfits, from jeans and a sweater to light activewear. It is compatible with layering, allowing you to wear warmer mid-layers underneath in cooler temperatures, though it is not insulated on its own.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance:
- Washing: Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold (around 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof garments, as standard detergents can degrade the DWR finish and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry unless specifically stated on the care label, and if so, use a low heat setting. Air dry the jacket on a hanger away from direct heat. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes reactivate the DWR finish.
- Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or strong detergents, as these can clog the fabric pores and strip the DWR coating.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can re-apply a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
