Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof properties, it is essential to follow specific care instructions. Always close all zippers before washing to protect the hardware and the fabric. Use a dedicated technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent, as standard soap can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid fabric softeners entirely. To reactivate the DWR finish after cleaning, you can tumble dry the garment on a low, gentle heat setting, as the heat helps the finish settle back into the fabric fibers. For compatibility, this jacket is designed to be worn over fleece layers or base layers to customize the level of warmth needed based on the season.
