Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care instructions: Machine wash in cold water using a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities of the fleece. Always tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to prevent thermal damage to the synthetic fibers. This fleece is fully compatible with standard technical rain shells if additional weatherproofing is required.
