Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, proper maintenance is essential:
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for outerwear. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended. You may tumble dry on a low setting if the care label permits, as light heat can sometimes reactivate the DWR finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the DWR performance; if water stops beading on the surface, consider applying a spray-on waterproofing treatment.
- Compatibility: This jacket serves as a shell layer. In colder temperatures, wear it over a fleece or synthetic down mid-layer to maximize warmth without sacrificing mobility.
