Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its insulation efficiency and water repellency, follow these guidelines. Always close all zippers and fasten the Velcro wrist tabs before laundering to prevent snags. Use a mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle; avoid using fabric softeners as they can damage the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the exterior fabric. Tumble dry on low heat, ideally with clean tennis balls in the dryer to help redistribute the synthetic insulation. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place rather than compressing it in a vacuum bag to maintain its loft for the next season.
