Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shredder II jacket, proper maintenance is essential. The jacket is designed to work as a standalone outer layer in cold, wet conditions. When washing, use a technical cleaner designed for waterproof-breathable fabrics to avoid damaging the DWR coating. Always zip all closures and ensure pockets are empty before washing on a gentle cycle. For best results, air dry the garment; if the waterproofing seems to fade over time, a light tumble dry on low heat or a commercial re-proofing spray can help restore the DWR finish. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane.
