Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the GORE-TEX performance, store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When layering, utilize moisture-wicking base layers to maximize breathability. For cleaning, machine wash in cold water using a technical fabric cleaner; avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproofing. Periodically, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior to maintain the fabric's ability to bead off water effectively. Always zip up all pockets and closures before washing to prevent snagging.
