Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of the Isolite fabric, ensure that you follow proper care instructions. Wash the jacket in cool water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear, avoiding heavy detergents or fabric softeners that can strip the DWR finish. After washing, hang dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because of its lightweight, unlined construction, the jacket is best utilized as a versatile shell; consider layering a fleece or thermal base underneath if the temperature drops. When storing the jacket for long periods, remove it from the stuff sack to allow the fabric to breathe and to prevent potential creasing or damage to the taped seams.
