Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the internal elasticated drawcord at the waist to create a snug seal against cold drafts. Ensure the cuffs sit comfortably at the wrist to prevent rain seepage.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical detergent designed for waterproof garments. Avoid biological detergents or fabric softeners as these can strip the waterproofing treatment.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Tumble drying on a very low heat setting may be used occasionally to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) coating.
- Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to maintain the loft of the insulation.
