Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Craghoppers Ossus Jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the toggle system on the hood and the hem drawcord to create a snug seal against the elements before heading out.
- Layering: Wear moisture-wicking base layers underneath to ensure the jacket's breathability is utilized effectively.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear rather than standard laundry soap, which can clog the fabric pores.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, the outer water-repellent finish may wear off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric surface.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded area. Avoid high-heat drying, as extreme heat can damage the fabric membrane and sealing tape.
