Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no formal setup; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure the longevity of the water-repellent properties, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for softshell fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and degrade the DWR finish. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from shrinking or losing its stretch. If the water-repellent performance begins to fade over time, consider using a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to restore its protective capabilities.
