How to use
To use the jacket, simply wear it as an outer layer over your preferred mid-layer or base layer depending on the temperature. Ensure all zippers are fully closed during heavy rain to maintain the integrity of the waterproof seal. Adjust the cuffs and hem to secure the fit and prevent wind from entering. For cleaning, follow the care label instructions, typically involving a gentle machine wash and occasional re-application of a water-repellent treatment to maintain the fabric's performance.
What to consider before purchase
- Check the size guide to ensure a proper fit for layering
- Consider the intended climate to determine if additional insulation is needed
- Verify the care requirements to maintain the waterproof membrane
Usage recommendations: To preserve the breathability and waterproof properties of the membrane, wash the jacket with technical detergents and avoid using fabric softeners. Periodically re-treat the outer shell with a DWR spray to ensure water beads off the surface effectively.
