Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserve the effectiveness of your ScentLok Ridge Midweight Hunting Jacket, especially its odor control and water repellency features.
Washing Instructions:
- Machine Wash: Always follow the care label instructions. Typically, machine wash cold with a scent-free detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and odor-absorbing technology.
- Avoid Bleach and Fabric Softeners: These products can compromise the jacket's odor control and water-repellent properties.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry, and scent-free environment when not in use to maintain its odor-absorbing capabilities.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your jacket, consider the following:
- Reduced Odor Control: Ensure the jacket has been properly washed and stored according to the maintenance instructions. Contaminants from other clothing or strong environmental odors can temporarily reduce effectiveness. Reactivating the Carbon Alloy technology often requires proper washing and drying.
- Water Repellency Issues: The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Always follow the product's instructions.
- Zipper Malfunction: If a zipper becomes stiff or difficult to operate, try cleaning it with a small brush to remove dirt or debris. A silicone-based lubricant can also help. Avoid forcing the zipper.
