Setup, Compatibility & Care
These leggings are ready for use immediately upon purchase. Because they are part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award collection, they are built to be highly compatible with standard outdoor layering systems. To maintain the effectiveness of the H2OShield and SolarShield technologies, follow these care instructions:
- Wash in cold water using a mild, technical detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the moisture-wicking and water-repellent coatings.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric's integrity.
- If the water-repellency begins to fade after heavy use, consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray suitable for synthetic outdoor apparel.
