This slicker is super easy to use. Just put it on when you're going out in the rain or bad weather. The removable hood can be taken off when the weather is better. When matching, try to pair it with other rose - pink items in your wardrobe for a great look. As for maintenance, clean it with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the waterproof finish. Store it in a dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
