Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your waterproof shell, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear as an outer shell over thermal base layers or mid-weight fleece.
- Washing: Use a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damaging the taped seams.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the exterior for dirt buildup, which can impair the water-beading performance of the shell. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if water stops beading on the surface.
