Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear upon unpacking.
Compatibility:
- Layering: The regular fit is designed to accommodate mid-layer fleece or insulation. For extreme cold, consider layering a warmer base layer or mid-layer underneath.
- Headwear: The hood is designed to be helmet-compatible, fitting over most climbing or ski helmets.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical down wash. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up down clumps. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably uncompressed to maintain the loft of the down insulation.
- Re-proofing: Periodically, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer shell to maintain its water-resistant properties.
