This jacket requires no specific setup beyond putting it on! It is compatible with a wide range of outdoor and casual wear. For optimal performance and longevity, proper care is essential:
Washing Instructions:
- Before washing, ensure all zippers are closed and empty pockets.
- Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Use a technical outerwear-specific cleaner (like Nikwax Tech Wash) to preserve water repellency, avoiding conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach.
- Wash separately or with similar items.
Drying Instructions:
- Do not tumble dry. Allow the jacket to drip dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Hanging the jacket to dry helps maintain its shape and integrity.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to maintain loft and material integrity.
Re-Waterproofing (DWR):
- Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off.
- If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR spray or wash-in product designed for technical outerwear.
