Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is an active-wear garment, ensure you choose a base layer that also wicks moisture to maximize the jacket's breathability rating. For care, wash the jacket in a machine on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent suitable for synthetic insulated garments. To maintain the water-repellent finish, ensure you rinse thoroughly and consider reapplying a standard DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after a few heavy washes. Always close all zippers before putting the item into the laundry to prevent snagging the fabric. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the microscopic pores of the fabric and significantly reduce the breathability and water-repellent efficacy.
