FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, but it is best to use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild, technical-friendly detergent.
Does this jacket provide insulation?
This jacket is primarily designed for weather protection and wind resistance rather than thermal insulation; it is best paired with mid-layers for warmth.
Can I use fabric softener on this jacket?
No, fabric softeners can damage the specialized waterproof coating and membrane, reducing the jacket's effectiveness.
Is the jacket unisex?
Yes, the fit is designed to be versatile and accommodating for all genders.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place to ensure the fabric remains uncreased and the ventilation stays optimal.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the jacket.
The DWR finish may be worn out. Wash the jacket to remove surface dirt and apply a technical fabric DWR restorer spray.
Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof.
This is often due to internal moisture buildup. Ensure you are wearing breathable, synthetic base layers rather than cotton, and unzip the jacket slightly if your intensity level is very high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fox Racing jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Typically, this involves machine washing in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can compromise the waterproof membrane. After washing, hang dry the jacket to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. If water stops beading on the surface over time, you can re-apply a DWR treatment spray to maintain its water-repelling capabilities.
