Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Regatta Maltrek jacket, observe the following care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics; avoid standard heavy-duty detergents which can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, use a very low heat setting, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic insulation and membrane.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR spray if you notice water no longer 'beads' on the surface of the jacket.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a hanger rather than folded tightly, which helps maintain the loft of the insulation.
