Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Montane Norste XT, proper care is essential. Always wash the jacket according to the care label, typically using a specialized technical cleaner to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing. Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating will need to be rejuvenated; once the face fabric stops beading water, use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore performance. When storing, keep the jacket in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain the integrity of the 3-layer laminate.
