Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your jacket, always ensure all zips are closed before cleaning. Machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner that is designed for waterproof membranes; avoid using standard biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish and block the breathable pores of the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help rejuvenate the water-repellent treatment on the outer shell. To check compatibility with base layers, ensure you have enough room for movement under the armpits when wearing your preferred hiking fleece or mid-layer.
