Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your waterproof and breathable jacket:
- Read the Label: Always consult the specific care label inside your jacket for detailed washing instructions.
- Washing: Generally, machine wash your jacket on a cold or warm delicate cycle with a small amount of technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid using conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can impair the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residues.
- Drying: It is best to air dry the jacket away from direct heat. If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Reapplication: Over time, the outer `DWR` finish that causes water to bead up may wear off. If water starts to soak into the outer fabric, reapply a suitable spray-on or wash-in `DWR` treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable outerwear.
- Storage: Store your jacket in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area when not in use. Ensure it is fully dry before long-term storage to prevent mildew.
