In order to preserve the garment's properties and get the longest possible lifespan for your garment, we recommend the following: Wash rarely! The more you wash an outdoor garment, the worse its water-repellent properties, and the garment fades and wears more over time. Therefore, wash only when you need to. When or if you wash, never use fabric softener! The fabric softener clogs the pores in the garment and contributes to poorer breathability. Wash at 30 degrees with similar colors, do not tumble dry nor iron. Let the garment air dry. We recommend and sell on our website Nikwax Tech Wash® products for washing and treatment of our outdoor clothing. Nikwax Tech Wash® is the market leader; it has been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof fabrics. Nikwax Tech Wash® is a highly effective cleaner. Additionally it will revitalise existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and revive breathability. It is the safe way to thoroughly clean your waterproof clothing and equipment. Application in a washing machine is quick, easy, and ensures that the whole garment is thoroughly cleaned.
