Setup
- Adjust the Hood: Use the drawcords on the `grown on hood` to tighten or loosen it for a secure and comfortable fit, providing optimal protection from rain and wind.
- Fasten Cuffs: Utilize the `button cuff adjusters` to cinch the cuffs around your wrists, preventing cold air and moisture from entering.
- Adjust Hem: Tighten the `adjustable drawcord hem` to seal out drafts and customize the jacket's silhouette.
- Attach/Detach Fur Trim: If desired, attach or detach the `removable hood fur trim` to suit your style or weather conditions.

It pairs well with everyday clothing and can be layered over sweaters, fleeces, or thermal tops for added warmth in colder conditions. It is compatible with most standard outdoor activity gear.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and windproof properties, and extend its lifespan:
- Preparation: Before washing, remove any `removable fake fur trim`. Close all zippers and fasten all pockets and flaps.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Waterproofing Renewal: Over time, the outer `Durable Water Repellent (DWR)` finish may wear off. You can reapply a DWR treatment (available as a spray or wash-in product) to maintain water repellency.
- Faux Fur/Leather Trims: Hand wash the `removable faux fur trim` separately with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying these trims. Clean `faux leather trims` with a damp cloth; do not machine wash or iron.
