Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the jacket's breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. If tumble drying, use a low heat setting to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating.
