How to use: Just put on the jacket like any other outerwear. Adjust the hood according to your needs. You can use the pit zips to cool down when you feel hot during your activities. Put your hands in the zippered hand pockets or store small items there. When you're done with the jacket, use the chest pocket as a stuff sack to pack it up. Attention: Avoid sharp objects that may tear the fabric. Don't machine - wash it too frequently as it may affect the DWR treatment. Maintenance: If it gets dirty, spot - clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Hang it to dry in a well - ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight as it may fade the color of the jacket.
