Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to hang-dry this jacket to preserve the nylon material and the integrity of the zippers.

What material is used for the outer shell?

Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; you can gently rub a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate them.
Jacket losing water repellency
Wash the jacket using a specialized tech-wash detergent for outdoor gear and ensure it is dried properly; re-apply a DWR spray if necessary.
Hood cords won't stay tightened
Ensure the tension toggles are not obstructed by debris; clean the toggle mechanism with a damp cloth if grit has entered the spring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup and is ready to wear immediately. To maintain the water-resistant properties and integrity of the nylon fabric, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Use a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-resistant coating over time.
- Drying: Hang-dry the jacket in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid tumble drying at high temperatures to prevent fabric shrinking or zipper damage.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a shaped hanger to maintain the structure of the shoulders. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing in a dark, cool closet to prevent moisture buildup.
