Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Insect Shield treatment is woven into the fiber, there is no setup required; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure the jacket maintains its protective properties, wash it in cold water using a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemical bleaches. Because this is a technical outdoor garment, air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the repellent treatment. Always store the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use to avoid unnecessary degradation of the material.
