Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, avoid using traditional heavy-duty detergents that can strip the ARED waterproof coating. Always wash in cool water on a gentle cycle, preferably using a technical garment cleaner designed for waterproof shells. For drying, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric. Ensure that all zippers are fully closed and the snowskirt is secured before washing to prevent snagging. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry closet on a sturdy hanger to maintain its structural integrity and insulation loft.
