Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Craghoppers Expert Kiwi Pro Stretch Waterproof Jacket, it is essential to follow proper maintenance procedures.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the membrane.
- DWR Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beading on the surface, use a technical DWR re-proofer. You can typically apply this after washing while the garment is still damp.
- Storage: Always hang the jacket to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing it in a closet. Never pack it away while damp to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
- Compatibility: This jacket is designed for standard layering. It functions best when worn over a moisture-wicking base layer and a thermal mid-layer in colder conditions.
