Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. It is recommended to re-apply a DWR treatment periodically.

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying.
Water is leaking through the seams.
Check if the seams are still properly taped. If damage is visible, professional repair may be needed. Ensure the jacket is washed according to care instructions, as harsh detergents can degrade seam seals.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a graphite pencil or specialized zipper wax) to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
Ensure the jacket is not excessively layered underneath. Check that the breathability rating is sufficient for your activity level. Ensure the DWR treatment is functional, as a wet outer fabric can reduce breathability.
