Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is compatible with standard athletic wear. To care for the jacket and maintain its water-resistant properties, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane's pores and reduce breathability and water resistance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially after significant wear or washing, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to restore its water-repelling capabilities. Use a spray-on or wash-in treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
- Cleaning Zippers: Occasionally clean the zippers with a soft brush and water to ensure they remain free of debris and function smoothly.
