Using this Sitka men's traverse jacket is a breeze. Simply put it on over your base layer and use the thumb slots to keep your sleeves in place. The zippered pockets are great for storing small items like keys or a phone while you're out hunting. When it comes to maintenance, machine wash it in cold water with like colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on low to keep the fabric in good shape. Don't iron the jacket directly as it may damage the fleece or the water repellent finish. If it gets wet, hang it up to dry naturally. Keep in mind that while it can resist light precipitation, it's not suitable for heavy rain. Also, be careful not to snag the fabric on sharp objects to maintain its durability.
