FAQs
How do I wash my Arc'teryx Atom Hooded Jacket?
Machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat.
Can I use fabric softener?
No, avoid using fabric softeners as they can damage the DWR finish and reduce breathability.
What is DWR?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a finish applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface.
How do I reapply the DWR finish?
Follow the instructions on the DWR product you choose. Typically, this involves washing the jacket, then spraying or washing in the DWR treatment.
Is the Atom Hooded Jacket waterproof?
No, it is water-resistant thanks to its DWR finish, but not fully waterproof. It is best paired with a waterproof shell for wet conditions.
What is the warranty on this jacket?
Arc'teryx offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store the jacket in a clean, dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods to maintain its loft.
