Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents as they can damage the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Drip dry only. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away into its bag to prevent mildew or damage to the fabric coatings.
- Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the surface, consider treating the jacket with a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
