Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Washing: Use a technical fabric cleaner or a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid using standard laundry detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Layering: The jacket is cut to accommodate mid-layers. Choose moisture-wicking base layers to maximize the breathability of the Gore-Tex material.
- Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, consider applying a reputable spray-on DWR treatment to maintain waterproof performance.
