Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains effective, it is important to follow proper care protocols. Always follow the manufacturer's care label, typically involving washing with a specialized technical fabric cleaner rather than standard detergents, which can strip the waterproof coating. To maintain the 10,000mm waterproof rating, periodically re-apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) spray to the exterior. For the best fit, utilize the three-point hood adjustment to secure the wired peak against wind, and use the drawcord waist to prevent updrafts. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely clean before long-term storage to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
