Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and hook-and-loop fasteners are secured before use to maximize weather protection.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed as a 3-in-1 system, implying potential compatibility with inner layers or zip-out components for added warmth, though these are not specified here. It is suitable for layering over standard base and mid-layers.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent or fabric softener.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a ball to help restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Alternatively, hang dry and iron on a low heat setting with a damp cloth to reactivate the DWR.
- Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, consider using a specific outdoor fabric re-proofer after washing, following the product's instructions.
