Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zippers are closed before use.
Compatibility:
The jacket is designed as an outer layer for general adult wear. It can be worn over base layers and mid-layers depending on the ambient temperature and activity level. It is suitable for pairing with hiking trousers and boots for a complete outdoor outfit.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, periodically re-proof the jacket using a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions. Always re-proof after washing and tumble drying.
