Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your THERMOLITE jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent; avoid heavy fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-resistant coating. For optimal drying, air dry the garment in a well-ventilated area. This jacket is highly compatible with shell layers, making it a perfect candidate for a layering system where you wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath and a waterproof shell jacket on top during heavy precipitation.
