Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain the shape of the hood and shoulders.
Is the jacket breathable?
Yes, the woven fabric construction is designed to balance wind protection with airflow for athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
Over time, the water-repellent coating may wear off; consider applying a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore performance.
Fabric feels sticky or clings during high intensity
Ensure you are wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to manage perspiration away from the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup and is ready to wear immediately. To ensure the longevity of the water-resistant finish, machine wash the garment in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance properties of the fabric. It is recommended to hang dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. If needed, a cool iron may be used, though avoid ironing any logos or specific branding areas.
