Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the membrane.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended. You may occasionally tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the H2OShield water-repellent finish.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to maintain the outer shell's performance.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to protect the integrity of the taped seams.
