How to fold Mountain Hardwear shell?
Don’t fold it……just invert the pocket and stuff the shell into it. You’ll be able to compress the shell better by stuffing rather than folding. Also you’ll increase the life of the DWR (durable water repellent) finish of the shell by stuffing rather than folding. That’s because each time you fold (or stuff for that matter) you crease the material. Do that time and time again along the same lines, such as when you fold it, and you’ll wear out the DWR along those creases. Stuffing helps to spread those creases around more uniformally, so the DWR wears evenly. Don’t worry when the DWR wears out you can restore it with special wash in and spray on products. Hope this was helpful to you.
