Can I machine wash the rainsuit?

Does it come with a storage bag?
The suit is designed with a packaway construction, meaning it integrates its storage functionality to remain compact.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the jacket features a vented back yoke and eyelets to help circulate air and reduce heat buildup.
Can I adjust the waist?

Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric
The water-resistant finish may have worn off; consider using a specialized fabric reproofing spray to restore beading.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Ensure the vented back yoke is not obstructed by a backpack or heavy gear, which can inhibit airflow and lead to condensation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your rainsuit, ensure the stud-adjustable hems are correctly fastened to prevent water from entering through the leg openings. When not in use, ensure the garment is completely dry before rolling it into its packaway position to prevent mildew. To clean, wipe down with a damp cloth or hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent; avoid heavy scrubbing or harsh chemicals that could damage the water-resistant coating. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can compromise the taped seams.
