Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the jacket and ensure all zippers and closures are functional.
- Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem for a comfortable and secure fit.
- If using with a compatible Berghaus fleece, zip the fleece into the jacket using the IA system.
Compatibility:
The Men's Maitland GORE-TEX® IA Waterproof Jacket is compatible with all Berghaus fleeces that feature the 3-in-1 InterActive (IA) system. These fleeces are sold separately.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a technical wash detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the jacket's waterproof performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang the jacket to air dry. If tumble drying, use a low heat setting to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating.
- Re-proofing: The jacket's waterproof performance can be enhanced by re-applying a DWR treatment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific product used.
