Care Instructions
To maintain the performance of your waterproof, breathable jacket, follow these care tips:
Regular Washing: Helps preserve the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties.
Dry After Use: Dry both inside and out after each trip to maintain longevity.
Saltwater Exposure: Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after saltwater use.
Washing Frequency: Depending on use, wash annually, bi-annually, or tri-annually.
Machine Washable: Most waterproof gear can be machine washed; always follow the care label instructions.
Note: Breathable fabrics like GORE-TEX® or Toray® are porous to allow moisture to escape while keeping rain out. Dirt, oils, and environmental exposure can reduce performance if not properly maintained.
