Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your softshell, proper maintenance is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent treatment.
- Drying: Air dry the garment naturally. Avoid direct high heat from radiators or tumble dryers to prevent damage to the bonded fabric layers.
- Re-treatment: If water beads stop forming on the surface, consider using a technical DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the water-resistant coating.
- Storage: Store on a hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain the shape of the technical fibers.
