Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the hood is cinched properly when wearing a helmet to prevent wind entry. The jacket is designed to be worn over a base layer and a mid-layer; avoid over-stuffing the jacket if you are sizing up for heavy base layers, as this can compress the insulation and reduce its efficiency. To care for your jacket, use specialized down-cleaning detergents and avoid fabric softeners. Always tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to ensure the down clusters are restored to their original loft. Store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place rather than inside its stuff-sack for long-term storage to prevent permanent down compression.
