Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains effective, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Hang-dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the elastic elements. Do not tumble dry at high heat.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Ensure pockets are emptied to prevent zipper stress.
- Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to manage sweat effectively, as the jacket is meant to be the outer protective shell.
