Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your jacket. While specific instructions should always be checked on the product's care label upon purchase, here are general guidelines for Polyester waterproof insulated jackets:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, or a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can impair the jacket's waterproof properties. Wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C).
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably hang to air dry away from direct heat. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof coating and insulation.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain the loft of the Thermoguard insulation.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you may consider re-applying a DWR treatment designed for outerwear. `> Info needed: Specific re-proofing recommendations.`
