Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper care is essential to maintain the DWR coating and insulating properties. Wash on a gentle, cold cycle using a specialized technical garment detergent; avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane. Always ensure the jacket is fully zipped before placing it in the machine. To maintain the waterproof barrier, hang-dry the garment away from direct heat sources like radiators. Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, a DWR re-waterproofing spray can be applied to the exterior to restore performance.
