Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no specific "setup" required. It is ready to wear.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed to be part of a layering system. It is best used with appropriate base layers and mid-layers to regulate temperature. It is compatible with various mountain and outdoor gear, including backpacks and climbing harnesses.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash the jacket in warm water (30°C/86°F) using a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang the jacket to dry. If tumble drying, it can help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: The jacket will need to be re-proofed periodically to maintain its water resistance. Use a DWR spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX® garments following the manufacturer's instructions. This is best done after washing.
