Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash the jacket regularly to remove oils and dirt that can clog the membrane. Use a technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid high heat from radiators or dryers, which can damage the adhesive and seams.
- DWR Maintenance: Periodically reapply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment to the exterior fabric if water stops beading on the surface.
- Storage: Store the jacket hanging in a dry, ventilated closet. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for long durations, as this can compress the fabric and affect performance over time.
