Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying or direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the taped seams and membrane.
- Maintenance: To restore the durable water repellent (DWR) finish over time, use a specialized DWR re-proofer wash-in treatment once the water stops beading on the surface.
- Layering: For best results, wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath. In colder conditions, pair this jacket with a fleece or synthetic mid-layer to retain body heat.
