Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's water-repellent finish and the loft of the insulation, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the Warmloft insulation and restore fluffiness.
- Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR spray treatment to the outer fabric to restore water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. While the jacket is packable, avoid storing it compressed for extremely long periods to ensure the longevity of the insulation fibers.
