Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket. Both the outer jacket and the fleece are machine washable.
- Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers and fastenings to prevent snags. Turn the jacket inside out.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water (check care label for exact temperature). Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Hang to air dry, preferably outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Tumble drying is generally not recommended, but if necessary, use a very low heat setting for a short duration. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
- DWR Re-application: Over time, the DWR finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing water to soak into the fabric instead of beading up. You can restore this by using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
