To properly care for your Clim8 jacket, follow these general washing instructions:
Preparation:
- Remove the battery pack and any detachable electronic components.
- Close all zippers and fasten any Velcro straps to prevent snagging.
Washing:
- Machine Wash: Use a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric and electronic components1.
Drying:
- Air Dry: Lay the jacket flat on a clean, dry towel and reshape it while damp. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat sources.
- Tumble Dry: If the care label allows, use a low heat setting. However, air drying is generally safer for maintaining the jacket’s integrity2.
Additional Tips:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
