Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. It is compatible with various outdoor activities and layering systems. Care instructions are crucial for maintaining its performance:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce breathability.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: For continued water repellency, apply a specific outdoor fabric re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment periodically, following the product's instructions.
