How do I ensure the best fit?
Use the built-in adjusters on the hood, cuffs, and hem to cinch the jacket where needed to seal out wind and rain.
Is the jacket machine washable?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the toggle draws on the hem and the adjustment tabs on the cuffs to ensure a snug fit that prevents drafts.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry the garment away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the fabric's technical properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to prevent creasing and maintain the shape of the waterproof membrane.
