Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Quest DryVent jacket, proper maintenance is essential. Always wash the jacket in cool water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear, as standard detergents can strip the DWR finish. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry; the heat from a dryer can sometimes help 'reactivate' the water-repellent coating. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, consider applying a spray-on DWR replenishment product. When choosing layers to wear underneath, the jacket's cut allows for standard mid-layers without feeling restrictive at the shoulders.
