Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup. Ensure the full zip is engaged and all toggles are adjusted for a snug fit. It is compatible with most outdoor clothing layers. Care instructions are vital for maintaining its waterproof properties:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the DWR finish.
- Re-proofing: Periodically reapply a DWR treatment (e.g., Granger's, Nikwax) following the product's instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the fabric surface. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
