Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Always close all zips and velcro fasteners before washing. Wash the outer shell separately from the inner layer if possible, using a technical garment wash to protect the ISOTEX coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the waterproof membrane and insulation fibers.
- Reproofing: Over time, the outer shell's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need refreshing with a spray-on treatment to keep water beading off the surface.
- Torch Maintenance: Inspect the sleeve torch housing before the start of the winter season to ensure battery contacts are clean and corrosion-free.
