Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof and effective, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof garments. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can damage the breathable membrane.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting if recommended by the care label to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid compressing the insulation for long periods in a storage bag.
- Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface of the fabric, you may need to apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the jacket's waterproof performance.
