How should I clean the jacket?

What is ARED 30/30 fabric?

Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the jacket
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a spray-on DWR treatment if reactivation is ineffective.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If clean, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to improve smoothness.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating
This may be due to moisture buildup from heavy exertion. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Eagle III jacket in optimal condition, ensure all zippers are closed before washing. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can strip the DWR coating. After washing, tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the water-repellent finish. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain the fit, adjust the cuffs and hem toggles so they are snug against your mid-layers or gloves to prevent cold air from entering during high-speed runs.
