Care Instructions
Proper care will prolong the life and performance of your jacket:
- Washing: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish and membrane integrity. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or air dry away from direct heat sources. Over-drying or high heat can damage the fabric and insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally hanging to allow the insulation to remain lofty.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-applying a DWR treatment designed for technical outerwear. > Info needed: [Specific washing instructions may vary, always check the garment's care label for detailed guidance.]
