Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform at its best, proper maintenance is essential. Always consult the garment care label before washing. Generally, use a specialized technical wash detergent rather than standard biological powders, as these can strip the waterproof coating. To maintain the waterproof properties, the jacket should be tumble dried on a low heat setting if the care tag allows, as this helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place to ensure the insulation maintains its loft. If you find the water is no longer beading on the surface, consider applying a re-proofer spray designed for technical outdoor gear.
