Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dubliner jacket remains effective, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, which can damage the waterproofing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. The heat from the dryer can actually help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating on the outer shell.
- Re-treating: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, use a DWR-specific spray-on or wash-in treatment to restore the factory finish.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it while damp to prevent mildew.
