Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner suitable for waterproof garments. Avoid biological detergents or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a low, cool heat setting to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) coating.
- Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, use a re-proofing spray designed for technical shells.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it for long periods.
