Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the hood and hem for a secure fit. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before wearing.
Compatibility: The Firewall Light Jacket is designed to be worn over mid-layers for insulation. Its regular fit accommodates various base and mid-layers. It is compatible with most hiking backpacks, with pocket placement optimized for such use.
Care: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Once dry, tumble dry for an additional 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR finish.
- Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, apply a suitable re-proofing treatment (e.g., Nikwax or Grangers) according to the product's instructions. Avoid direct heat on repairs.
