Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure all zips are closed before first use.
Compatibility:
Designed as outerwear, this jacket can be layered over various base and mid-layers depending on the temperature and activity. It is compatible with most outdoor gear.
Care:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of specialized technical wash. Do NOT use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for at least 20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric.
- Re-Waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Always follow the product's specific instructions.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags for extended periods, as this can trap moisture.
