Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is compatible with most outdoor and casual wear. To care for your jacket and maintain its water-repellent properties:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for about 20 minutes to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If a tumble dryer is not available, hang to dry, and then iron on a low setting (preferably with a cloth in between) to reactivate the DWR.
- Re-waterproofing: If the DWR finish has worn off and water no longer beads on the surface, consider using a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear.
