Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a ready-to-wear garment, there is no assembly required. To maintain the integrity of the insulation and the weather-resistant coating, ensure you follow the care label instructions inside the jacket. Generally, it is best to machine wash in cold water using a mild, technical cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the weather-resistant coating. When drying, use a low-heat setting with tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore the loft of the internal insulation. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent compression of the insulation during the off-season.
