Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; simply unpack and wear. It is compatible with most hiking backpacks and base layers. To maintain its performance:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a dry cloth. This helps reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, apply a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer suitable for waterproof breathable fabrics according to product instructions, typically after washing and drying.
