Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, keep the surface clean by washing it with a specialized technical fabric cleaner. Avoid using standard biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Once washed, consider using a reproofing spray to restore the water-beading properties after repeated use. Always ensure the center zip is fully closed and the hood is adjusted using the integrated hardware to maximize protection in high winds. Store the jacket hanging in a dry, ventilated area rather than compressed in a bag to maintain the structural integrity of the 2.5-layer membrane.
