Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure all zippers and velcro closures are secured before washing to prevent snagging. The jacket is machine washable; however, it is recommended to use a technical gear cleaner rather than standard detergents to preserve the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproofing properties from the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to keep the padding lofted. Ensure the helmet-compatible hood is adjusted while the child is wearing their ski helmet to guarantee a proper seal against wind chill.
