Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, ensure all zippers are fully closed during storage to maintain the structural integrity of the hood attachment. Regarding care, always check the internal garment label, but generally, use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) coating from the surface. If the outer fabric begins to 'wet out' instead of beading water, consider reapplying a waterproofing spray or heat-treating the clean garment according to the manufacturer’s instructions to reactivate the DWR finish.
