FAQs
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
Can I tumble dry the jacket?
Yes, tumble dry on low heat. Re-apply a DWR treatment after washing and drying.
What is DWR?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off.
How do I reapply DWR?
After washing and drying the jacket, apply a DWR treatment spray, following the product instructions.
What is the Alpine fit?
The Alpine fit is a tailored fit designed for athletic activities, providing freedom of movement while minimizing bulk.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have water-resistant zippers for added protection, but they are not fully waterproof. It's best to store sensitive items in waterproof bags.
What is the warranty on the jacket?
Warranty information can be found on the Mountain Equipment website.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Check if the DWR treatment needs to be reapplied. Wash and re-proof the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.
Zippers are sticking.
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant.
