Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
The jacket is designed as an outerwear layer and is compatible with various types of clothing worn underneath. For colder weather, it can be layered over fleeces or insulated jackets. Ensure the size is appropriate for comfortable layering without restricting movement.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Wash: Wash with cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powders, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. It is recommended to dry the jacket with a couple of towels to help restore the DWR finish.
- Zipper Care: Close zippers and fasten Velcro tabs before washing to prevent snags.
- Avoid Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean or use iron.
- Re-applying DWR: If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to the product's instructions, often available at outdoor gear retailers.
