Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the DWR finish, wash the jacket in cool water with a detergent specifically designed for technical waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane. After washing, ensure the jacket is thoroughly air-dried. For storage, always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its belt bag configuration to prevent mildew or odors. Because it is a shell layer, it is compatible with various mid-layers like fleece or base layers, allowing you to scale your warmth based on the season.
