Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your waterproof jacket. Always refer to the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions. Generally, for waterproof jackets, follow these guidelines:
- Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers and fasten all flaps and cuffs.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water (typically 30°C/86°F or less). Use a specialized technical wash designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid conventional laundry detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, and stain removers, as these can degrade the waterproof coating and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residues.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket away from direct sunlight or heat. If the care label permits, you can tumble dry on a very low heat setting for a short period to reactivate the DWR finish. Avoid high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish will wear off, causing water to 'wet out' the fabric instead of beading off. You can restore the DWR by using a wash-in or spray-on re-proofing product designed for waterproof garments.
