Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof performance, it is important to follow proper care instructions. The H2OShield finish can degrade over time due to dirt and oil build-up; therefore, wash the garment periodically with a technical gear cleaner rather than standard detergents. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can strip the membrane of its breathability. For compatibility, the jacket features a standard fit that accommodates most mid-layer garments underneath. Always ensure all zippers are closed before placing the jacket in the washing machine, and tumble dry on a low setting if the manufacturer instructions allow to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
