Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergent, fabric softeners, or bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results, add a couple of clean towels to help restore the fabric's loft and water repellency.
