Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your jacket, ensure the zippers are fully closed before laundering to protect the mechanics. The jacket is machine washable; however, it is recommended to use a gentle detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the DWR water-repellent coating. After several washes, you may need to re-apply a DWR spray to maintain its water-resistance. Store the garment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Always ensure that the detachable sleeves are fully zippered into place before starting a hike to prevent accidental detachment.
