Care
To ensure the longevity of your Melodic III Trousers and maintain their performance, especially the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, follow these general care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. It is highly recommended to use a technical cleaner specifically designed for outdoor performance wear and DWR fabrics. This helps preserve the fabric's integrity and water repellency.
- Detergents: Avoid using traditional powdered detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, or stain removers, as these can strip the DWR coating and damage the fabric fibers.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. The heat from the dryer can help reactivate the DWR finish. Alternatively, air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not iron.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If you notice water soaking into the fabric rather than beading up, consider reapplying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product to restore water repellency.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
