Is the jacket packable?

Troubleshooting
Jacket feels wet on the inside during intense rides
This is often condensation accumulation; ensure you are not overdressing underneath and verify the eVent membrane is clean to allow for proper airflow.
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleanser and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-beading property.
Zipper is sticking
Check for debris or grit in the zipper track. Clean carefully with a soft brush and avoid forcing the slider.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Aeron Lab 2.0, proper maintenance is vital. Always follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing your base layers underneath to verify the performance fit works with your specific layering system.
- Washing: Use a technical fabric wash specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and ruin breathability.
- Drying: Air dry the garment away from direct heat sources. Using a tumble dryer on a low setting may be recommended by the manufacturer to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating, but always check the internal label.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not leave the jacket crumpled in a damp kit bag for extended periods, as this can degrade the specialized waterproof coating.
