Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Pakka set performing optimally, ensure you follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry the set naturally. Avoid using a tumble dryer as high heat can damage the taped seams and waterproof integrity.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface after extended use, apply a standard spray-on DWR treatment to restore protection.
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket and trousers are completely dry before folding them back into their storage bag to prevent mold or mildew growth.
