Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The jacket requires no assembly. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use. Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem using the integrated toggles and Velcro straps for a secure, weather-tight fit.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for outdoor activities and can be layered over base and mid-layers for additional warmth. It is compatible with most hiking backpacks.
Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a clean tennis ball to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Alternatively, hang dry, then tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes once dry.
- Re-proofing: Reapply a DWR treatment periodically (e.g., using Nikwax or Grangers products) following the product's instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
