Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties over time.
- Preparation: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Washing: Info needed: While not explicitly stated, for insulated waterproof jackets like this, it's generally recommended to machine wash cold (around 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical washing detergent specifically designed for waterproof and breathable outdoor apparel. *Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach*, as these can compromise the waterproof coating and breathability.
- Drying: Info needed: After washing, most waterproof jackets should be drip-dried or tumble-dried on a *low heat setting*. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric's membrane. You may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically to maintain optimal water repellency, following the instructions of the DWR product.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a well-ventilated area.
