Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its performance over time, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: This jacket is sized for regular adult male use; consider wearing a base or mid-layer underneath if you require additional thermal regulation.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Maintenance: To reactivate the water-repellent finish, tumble dry on a low, cool setting if the care label permits, or iron on a cool setting. Periodically reapplying a spray-on waterproofing treatment after washing will help maintain the fabric's integrity.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket under heavy items for long periods to preserve the loft of the THERMOGUARD insulation.
