Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Nimble Hoodie 2 in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a technical gear cleaner.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help maintain the DWR coating.
- Maintenance: Periodically reapply a DWR spray treatment if you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric.
- Compatibility: The slim-to-regular profile makes it an excellent layering piece; it sits comfortably over base layers and beneath a thicker hardshell if extreme weather conditions suddenly develop.
