Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the water-resistant coating, follow these care instructions: machine wash the jacket in cool water with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable membrane and degrade the water-resistant performance. Hang the garment to air dry away from direct heat sources or high-heat dryers, which can damage the bonded fabric layers. Periodically check the cuffs and zips to ensure they are free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
