Troubleshooting
Water beading is no longer effective on the outer shell
The DWR coating may need refreshing. Use a specialized technical wash-in re-proofer suitable for waterproof garments.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean any sand or grit from the zipper teeth using a soft brush. If it remains stiff, apply a non-greasy silicone-based lubricant specifically for zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your robe lasts through many seasons of adventure, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Hang to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the robe is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage to prevent mildew buildup.
- Usage Tips: Shake off excess water or sand from the outer shell before storing it to keep the lining clean.
