Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Its design makes it compatible with a wide range of casual winter attire.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C or 86°F). It is recommended to wash with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish and insulation.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is crucial to ensure the jacket is completely dry to restore its loft and insulating properties. You may want to add a few clean tennis balls to the dryer to help break up clumps of filling and maintain even distribution.
- Re-Waterproofing: If the DWR finish appears to be less effective over time, you can re-apply a waterproofing treatment designed for synthetic outdoor apparel following the product's instructions. This typically involves washing the garment and then tumble drying it, or applying a spray-on treatment.
