We strongly recommend using front-loading washing machines; if you own a top-loading machine, it is recommended washing clothes and equipment in a special mesh laundry bag to protect against possible damage from parts of the washing machine drum. Before washing, you must fasten all zippers and Velcro fasteners and completely loosen all adjustments. If the outer fabric is membrane, then it is better to wash the product with the lining facing out (turned inside out). Wash on delicate cycle at 30°C with a double rinse cycle (it is better to use two rinse cycles to ensure that all detergent residues are removed from the fabric and insulation) and a medium spin. It is acceptable to use a drying drum at medium temperature (40-60°C) for 30-40 minutes or until completely dry; if the top fabric is membrane, it is better to dry the product with the lining out (turned inside out). You can hang dry the product with the lining facing out. To remove stubborn stains, you can treat the stains with a special solution such as Grangers Performance Wash or Nikwax Tech Wash before washing, allowing the detergent to soak in for 10-15 minutes. It is better to store clothes and equipment with synthetic insulation in a straightened (not compressed) state. How to restore DWR treatment on insulated clothing or equipment DWR is a special polymer applied to the surface of the fabric to give it water-repellent properties. DWR treatment does not last forever. During use of the product, as well as after a certain number of washes, the effectiveness of DWR decreases. If water droplets no longer roll off the surface of the fabric and wet the fabric even after washing, it’s time to restore the splashproof treatment. We recommend using a special spray-on or in-the-machine splash-proofing treatment such as Grangers Clothing Repel or Performance Repel, or Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In or Spray-On. First, wash the item in accordance with the washing recommendations, then use the selected solution to restore the splash-proof treatment by spraying it directly onto the front of the item while it is still damp, or running a second wash cycle after pouring the required amount of wash-in into the washing machine . The manufacturer's instructions for the splashproof restoration product on the packaging must be followed exactly. Many DWR restoration products require heat activation, so it is best to tumble dry treated clothing and equipment on medium heat (40-60°C) for 40-50 minutes or until completely dry.
