Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof and effective, follow these care guidelines: Always rinse the jacket with fresh, cold water after exposure to saltwater to prevent salt crystallization, which can degrade the fabric's performance. For cleaning, use a mild detergent specifically designed for technical sportswear and avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating. Hang the jacket to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area—never tumble dry or use an iron, as high heat can damage the breathable membrane. When storing, keep the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its tailored shape.
