Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Bayletta II jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on, zip it up completely, and adjust the hood drawstrings for a snug fit around your face. Tighten the Velcro cuffs to prevent wind and rain from entering.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for women and is highly versatile, compatible with a range of casual and light active wear. It layers effectively over t-shirts, sweaters, and fleeces, making it suitable for varying temperatures. Its classic design allows it to integrate seamlessly into most everyday wardrobes.
Care: Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) on a delicate cycle. Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, or stain removers, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Drying: Hang to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the fabric's waterproof coating and taped seams. Keep it away from direct heat sources.
- Reproofing: Over time, the DWR finish will wear off, causing water to soak into the fabric rather than bead up. If this occurs, clean the jacket and then apply a spray-on or wash-in reproofing product designed for waterproof apparel to restore water repellency.
- Storage: Store your jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before folding or hanging to prevent mildew.
