Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack it from its stuff sack and wear it. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use.
Compatibility: The Peter Storm Packable Jacket is designed as an outer shell. It can be worn over t-shirts, fleeces, or other mid-layers depending on the weather conditions. It is suitable for a range of activities including trekking, hiking, backpacking, travelling, and general everyday wear.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a non-detergent pure soap or a specialist waterproof fabric cleaner. Do not use fabric conditioner or bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, hang to dry and then iron on a low heat (one dot setting) with a towel placed between the iron and the jacket.
- Re-proofing: If the jacket's water repellency deteriorates significantly, consider applying a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer designed for waterproof garments.
