Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these maintenance tips:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric detergent. Avoid standard laundry soaps or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the care label permits, a very low-heat tumble dry can sometimes help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the jacket, apply a dedicated spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to maintain its performance.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area rather than folding it tightly for extended periods to prevent creasing the membrane.
