Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
To maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket, follow these care instructions:
Machine wash: Wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle.
Use mild detergent: Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent coating and fabric integrity.
Wash with like colors: To prevent color transfer.
Do not bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric.
Tumble dry low or hang dry: For best results, hang dry the jacket. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting. Overheating can damage the water-repellent finish.
Do not iron: Ironing can harm the specialized fabric and coatings.
Do not dry clean: Chemical solvents can compromise the jacket's material properties.
Regular care ensures the water-repellent properties remain effective and the fabric stays breathable.
