Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its loft and water-repellent properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a specialized down cleanser. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the down's insulating properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent odors.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing it in a tight space for long periods, as this can degrade the down filling over time.
- Water Repellency: If water stops beading on the surface of the fabric, consider reapplying a synthetic DWR treatment spray to refresh the water-repellent finish.
