Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
- Fit: Designed with a regular fit, intended to layer comfortably over base and mid-layers. It is compatible with most climbing helmets.
- Zippers: Features a YKK Natulon two-way zipper, compatible with other outdoor gear.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Use the recommended amount of detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-distribute and re-loft the down. This process may need to be repeated multiple times to ensure the down is fully dry and lofts properly.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid long-term compression, as this can degrade the down's loft.
- Repairs: For minor tears, use a patch kit designed for technical outerwear. For significant damage, consult a professional repair service.
