Using the Dew Point Jacket is a breeze. Just put it on like any other jacket. The adjustable hood can be pulled up when you need extra protection from the elements. When you start to feel hot, unzip the pit zips to let out the heat. The zippered pockets are handy for storing small items like keys or a phone, even when you're wearing a pack belt. As for maintenance, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, you can machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they can damage the fabric. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. When not in use, fold it up neatly and store it in a cool, dry place. This way, your jacket will stay in great condition and serve you well for many outdoor adventures.
