Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments. Avoid biological detergents or fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying is generally discouraged unless directed by the care label, as high heat can damage the specialized membrane.
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, ventilated closet to prevent mildew.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface, use a specialized spray-on re-proofer to restore the water-repellent finish.
