Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform as expected, proper maintenance is essential:
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers to protect the fabric integrity.
- Re-proofing: If water stops beading on the surface, use a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore its performance.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away for long periods to prevent mildew growth on the padding.
