FAQs
How do I wash my Rab Namche GORE-TEX Jacket?
Machine wash in warm water (30°C/86°F) using a mild detergent designed for waterproof garments. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Can I tumble dry the jacket?
Yes, tumble dry on a low setting to reactivate the DWR treatment. You can also hang it to dry.
How do I maintain the waterproof performance?
Wash the jacket regularly. If water stops beading on the surface, reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments. Avoid standard detergents, as they can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
What is the warranty on the jacket?
The Rab Namche GORE-TEX Jacket typically comes with a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check the Rab website for specific warranty details.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods to maintain the GORE-TEX fabric's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Check if the DWR treatment has worn off and reapply. Also, ensure the zippers are fully closed and the seams are intact. If the issue persists, the GORE-TEX membrane may be damaged; consider professional repair.
The jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Clean the jacket to remove dirt and oils that can impede breathability. Avoid using fabric softeners when washing.
