Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the parka's integrity, always follow the care label instructions provided by Stormtech. Before laundering, remove the faux fur trim to prevent damage to the fibers. Machine wash in cold water using a technical garment detergent to preserve the water-repellent coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable pores of the membrane. Hang dry the parka away from direct heat sources to prevent material distortion. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use during the off-season.
