Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket performs as expected, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof shells. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical coating.
- Drying: Air dry is preferred. Avoid excessive heat or direct tumble drying on high heat settings, as this may damage the taped seams.
- Maintenance: Over time, water will stop beading on the surface. Apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore the exterior waterproofing.
- Layering: The jacket is designed as a shell. Wear a moisture-wicking base layer and an insulating mid-layer (like fleece or synthetic down) for maximum comfort in cold conditions.
