Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and insulating properties, follow these care steps:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating and insulation.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Waterproofing Re-treatment: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water starts to soak into the fabric instead of beading up, re-treat the jacket with a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product, following the product's specific instructions. This is crucial for maintaining breathability and waterproofing.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can affect the loft of the insulation.
