Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains effective, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Always check the internal garment tag for specific washing guidelines, but generally, it is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized fabric finish. After washing, hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the material's structural integrity. When layering, pair this jacket with moisture-wicking base layers to ensure the best overall thermal management and comfort during outdoor activities.
