To ensure the longevity of your Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket and maintain its waterproof and breathable properties, proper care is essential:
- Read the Care Label: Always consult the specific care instructions on the jacket's internal label.
- Washing: Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and fabric integrity.
- Drying: Line dry the jacket away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry unless explicitly stated on the care label, as high heat can compromise the waterproof membrane.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry place. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
