Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Arctic Blast II jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Layering: Wear moisture-wicking base layers underneath to ensure the insulation can effectively manage body heat.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the Omni-Shield repellency.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
- Repellency Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry closet. Avoid leaving it compressed in a storage bin for long periods, as this can affect the loft of the insulation.
