Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket performs as intended, adjust the hem drawcords and sleeve cuffs before starting your ascent to prevent cold air ingress. For layering, the Paiyu works best over a base layer but is designed to sit comfortably underneath a hard shell for survival situations.
Care instructions:
- Always store the jacket uncompressed in a cool, dry place to maintain down loft.
- Use a dedicated down-specific soap to clean the garment; avoid standard detergents which can strip natural oils.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters evenly.
- Regularly refresh the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the outer shell when water beads less effectively.
