Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is designed as a versatile mid-layer or light outer shell. For optimal thermal performance, it is best worn over a moisture-wicking base layer. Because it is a hybrid design, it fits comfortably under a heavier waterproof shell if you are venturing into extreme weather conditions.
To maintain the DWR finish and the integrity of the recycled insulation, follow these care instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and impair the breathability and DWR performance.
- Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting to help maintain the loft of the insulation.
- Re-apply a DWR spray treatment periodically to ensure the water-repellent performance remains effective over time.
