Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the insulation and ensure even airflow.
- Reproofing: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, apply a specialized DWR spray treatment to restore the fabric's water-shedding properties.
