Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, use the shell as your outer protective layer over a moisture-wicking base layer and an insulating mid-layer like fleece or a light down jacket. Always secure the powder skirt to ensure a proper seal against the elements. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the 3-layer fabric, machine wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for performance shells. Avoid fabric softeners which can clog the membrane. Tumble dry on low heat or follow the manufacturer's care tag to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) coating. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
