Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Use a mild detergent; avoid using fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally or tumble dry on a very low heat setting. Avoid extreme heat which can damage the synthetic insulation.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the DWR performance. If water no longer beads on the surface, use a specialized spray-on re-proofer to restore the repellent finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. While the jacket is compressible, avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for long periods to allow the insulation to maintain its loft.
