Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for immediate use. Simply put it on and adjust it to your comfort. Compatibility is universal, as it is outerwear designed for various activities.
Adjustments
- Hood: Use the adjustable drawcords on the grown-on hood to cinch it around your face for maximum protection against wind and rain. The fur trim can be removed if preferred by detaching the buttons or zipper.
- Waist: Utilize the internal drawcord at the waist to create a more tailored fit and prevent cold air from entering from below.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties and extend its lifespan:
- Pre-Wash: Before washing, ensure all zippers are closed, pockets are empty, and any removable fur trim is detached.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical outerwesh detergent (not standard fabric softener, which can impair waterproofing). Follow the care label inside the jacket for specific temperature recommendations.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry unless specifically indicated on the care label, and only on a low heat setting. Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat. Allowing it to drip dry will preserve the fabric's integrity.
- Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reproofing the jacket with a suitable DWR spray or wash-in product.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, cool place when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
