Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hydrenalite jacket, proper maintenance is essential. While the jacket is designed for easy care, always follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore the loft of the down clusters.
- Storage: Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods in a stuff sack; store it in a cool, dry place on a hanger to preserve its thermal properties.
- Compatibility: The loose fit allows for easy layering of mid-layers or sweaters underneath, though it may be too voluminous for heavy shell jackets to be worn on top.
