Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, regular maintenance is required. Follow these guidelines for the best results:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof garments. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the breathability and DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. If using a dryer, the low heat can actually help reactivate the DWR treatment.
- DWR Reactivation: If water stops beading on the surface, you may need to reapply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment after washing.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a small bag for extended periods, as this can lead to wrinkles or long-term damage to the seam taping.
