Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform at its peak, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash with a technical gear cleaner rather than standard detergents, which can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket in a shaded area. Do not tumble dry unless the care label specifically allows it, as extreme heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-proofing: After heavy use, if you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric, apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
- Storage: Always store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it compressed in a damp bag for extended periods, as this can encourage mildew growth on the outer shell.
