Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the stormflap is snapped or velcroed securely after zipping to maintain the waterproof seal. The hood adjustment should be cinched when facing extreme wind to minimize heat loss. Regarding care, remove the faux fur trim before washing to prevent matting or damage. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outerwear. Always hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the synthetic fill and waterproof coating.
