> Info needed: [Specific washing and drying instructions for Isotex 10000 and Thermoguard materials. Always refer to the product's care label.]
General recommendations for technical outdoor garments:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair waterproofing and breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. Consider re-proofing with a suitable DWR treatment designed for waterproof breathable fabrics if water no longer beads off the surface.
