Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash the jacket on a cool, gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) coating.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting to prevent damage to the waterproof membrane.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the zippers and touch-fastening tabs for debris. If the water stops beading on the surface of the fabric, consider reapplying a waterproofing spray to restore the outer treatment.
- Layering: Wear a fleece or thermal base layer underneath during colder months, as this jacket is a protective shell and does not contain internal insulation.
