Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
- Designed for adult women.
- The helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit over most standard hiking or climbing helmets.
- Features adjustable elements (cuffs, hem) to accommodate various body types and layering systems.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the fabric's membrane.
- Rinsing: Ensure a double rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes (or as per care label) to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, hang to dry and then iron on a low setting (with a towel barrier) to reactivate the DWR.
- Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment every few washes or when water no longer beads on the surface.
