Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Rab Downpour Jacket, ensure all zippers are fully closed before laundering. Wash the jacket using a specialized technical fabric cleaner to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane with standard detergents. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) coating. Periodically check the DWR performance; if water stops beading on the surface, use a recommended re-proofing spray to restore the coating. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before packing it away for extended periods.
