Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the jacket's performance and longevity. The jacket is machine washable; however, special attention should be paid to the following guidelines for down-filled garments:
- Preparation: Before washing, zip up all zippers, close any snaps or Velcro fasteners, and turn the jacket inside out.
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine. Info needed: [Specific temperature setting and recommended detergent for down jackets]. It's often recommended to use a technical down wash detergent, not standard laundry detergent, as regular detergents can strip natural oils from the down, affecting its loft and warmth.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue. You may need to run an extra rinse cycle.
- Drying: This is the most critical step for down jackets. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls help to break up down clumps and restore the jacket's loft and even distribution of insulation. This process can take several hours, and the jacket should be completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store the jacket unfolded in a cool, dry place to allow the down to maintain its loft. Avoid compressing it for long periods.
Following these steps will help ensure your PARAJUMPERS Mariah Hooded Down Jacket continues to provide optimal warmth and protection for many seasons.
