Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellent efficacy of the Hydropel fabric, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the polyester fibers or the stretch binding.
- Re-treating: Over time, if you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you may use a technical apparel water-repellent spray to restore the coating.
- Compatibility: This fleece is designed to layer easily under waterproof shells or parkas without excessive bunching, thanks to its streamlined silhouette.
