Setup
Simply put on the jacket. Ensure a comfortable fit that allows for full range of motion, especially through the shoulders and arms where the Extol Stretch panels are located.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for adult males. Its hybrid design makes it compatible with various layering systems; wear it over a base layer for active pursuits or under a waterproof shell for more extreme wet weather. It's suitable for a wide array of outdoor activities from hiking to casual wear in cool, damp conditions.
Care
To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Info needed: Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific washing instructions. Generally, polyester insulated jackets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent in cold water.
- Drying: Air dry thoroughly. Avoid high heat as it can damage the insulation and water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on a low setting if machine drying is permitted by the care label, often with dryer balls to help fluff the insulation.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. You can restore it using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid compressing for long periods to maintain insulation loft.
