Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no formal setup, but to maintain its technical properties, proper care is essential. Always consult the care label inside the garment before washing. Generally, use a mild liquid detergent and wash on a gentle cycle to avoid damaging the synthetic down baffles. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable fabric and diminish the effectiveness of the water-repellent treatment. To restore the water-repellency, tumble dry on a low heat setting if the manufacturer instructions permit, or use a dedicated technical garment spray-on treatment after a few seasons of wear. Store the jacket on a hanger in a dry, ventilated area to allow the insulation to remain lofted and effective.
