Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your jacket, ensure you follow the care label instructions, generally involving a gentle machine wash cycle with technical garment cleaners rather than standard laundry detergents. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the ISOTEX fabric. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation. The Maltrek is designed as a standalone outer shell, but its fit is generous enough to accommodate a thin fleece base layer if additional warmth is required for extreme conditions.
