Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper maintenance is vital to ensure long-term performance. Always close all zippers and fastenings before placing the jacket in the washing machine to prevent snagging. Use a specialized technical garment cleaner or a gentle, non-biological detergent to avoid stripping the durable water-repellent (DWR) coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fabric fibers and impede the breathability of the waterproof membrane. After washing, low-heat tumble drying or air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, well-ventilated space to prevent mildew.
