Care & Maintenance Instructions
-
Washing: Machine wash in warm water (below 40°C) on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and use a laundry net to protect the fabric.
Â
-
Detergent: Use a mild, neutral detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they damage the DRYTEC membrane's performance.
-
Drying: Line dry in the shade. Do not wring or spin-dry aggressively.
-
Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting using a pressing cloth to help maintain the water-repellent finish.

Expert Tips from X-Boundaries
1. Tropical Versatility
The Rain Hiker is a "Singapore Essential." Its 70-denier fabric is durable enough for rugged trails but remains breathable enough for our humid climate. It’s the ideal "just-in-case" layer for commuters and hikers alike.
Â
2. Roll-Up Hood Utility
When the rain stops but the wind persists, use the hook-and-loop tab to roll up the hood. This prevents it from flapping around and converts the jacket into a clean, stand-collar windbreaker.
Â
3. The Perfect Travel Companion
Thanks to its lightweight construction, it packs down into a tiny stuff sack (included). Toss it in your carry-on for overseas trips to temperate or rainy climates—it takes up less space than a standard water bottle!
