Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the jacket functioning optimally, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the hem drawcord and adjustable cuffs to tighten the jacket around gloves and boots for a sealed fit.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place after use. Avoid leaving it compressed in a bag, as this can degrade the insulation padding.
- Cleaning: Wash in a cool cycle with technical gear detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can strip the water-repellent finish from the outer shell.
- Re-Waterproofing: Periodically apply a spray-on DWR treatment if you notice water no longer 'beads' on the surface of the fabric after heavy use.
