Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dubliner jacket retains its protective properties, regular maintenance is essential. Always wash the garment in cold water using a technical detergent designed for synthetic, water-repellent clothing. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy-duty bleach, as these can compromise the DWR treatment and the breathability of the membrane. After washing, tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR finish. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment can restore the original performance level. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place to ensure the seams and zippers remain in good condition.
