Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the manufacturer's care instructions: wash with a technical cleaner specifically designed for DWR (Durable Water Repellent) garments to maintain the hydrophobic outer layer. Avoid using traditional fabric softeners, as these can clog the microscopic pores of the 3-layer membrane and reduce breathability. When not in use, ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away for extended periods to prevent mildew. The garment is designed to layer over standard cycling jerseys and base layers; if you plan to wear it over heavy winter jackets, consider your base size carefully to ensure the specific cycling fit does not become too tight.
