Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper maintenance is key to preserving the DWR finish and insulation properties:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for synthetic insulated garments. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use a low heat setting to prevent damage to the synthetic fibres.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the insulation under heavy objects for long periods to maintain its loft.
- Layering: Ensure you choose the correct size to allow for adequate layering underneath without compromising the stretch panels' functionality.
