Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of the Polartec fabric, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Given the jacket's fast-drying nature, air drying is often sufficient.
- Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a technical mid-layer. It integrates well under most standard Gore-Tex or DWR-treated waterproof shells. Ensure your outer shell has enough volume to accommodate the loft of the fleece without compressing it too tightly.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the reflective elements on the waistband.
