Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket retains its performance capabilities, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Wash the garment in cold water using a technical detergent designed for synthetic fabrics to maintain the integrity of the bonded material. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can impede the breathability of the fibers. For optimal compatibility, pair the Vantashell with thermal base layers to create an efficient, moisture-wicking layering system that keeps you warm in varied mountain conditions. Always ensure the hem and cuffs are adjusted snugly when entering high-wind areas to maximize the jacket's protective properties.
