Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the jacket. Follow these general guidelines, and always check the care label for specific instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproof coating and DWR finish.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct heat. Excessive heat can damage the fabric and taped seams.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If wrinkles are a concern, a light steaming might be acceptable, but avoid direct heat.
- DWR Reapplication: Over time, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring the jacket is completely dry before folding or hanging.
