Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the synthetic insulation and the water-repellent finish, follow these care steps:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the insulating properties and the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Including a clean tennis ball in the dryer can help re-fluff the synthetic insulation.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing it in a tight space for extended periods to maintain the loft of the insulation.
- Refreshing DWR: If water stops beading on the surface over time, you can apply a standard wash-in or spray-on durable water-repellent treatment to refresh its performance.
