Care & maintenance
Wash it right and the waterproofing and warmth will last.
After every walk
- Wipe off mud and grass with a damp cloth and hang it somewhere airy to dry. Do not leave it bunched in a bag.
- Wipe reflective strips with plain water. Do not scrub.
Washing
- Hand wash, or use a laundry bag on a gentle cycle, at 30 °C or below with a mild detergent.
- No bleach, fabric softener or detergents with optical brighteners. They break down the water-repellent finish.
- Close all snaps and buckles before washing so nothing catches.
Drying and storage
- Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. No tumble dryer, no iron, no direct sun.
- Store only when fully dry, in a dry place. Wash before putting it away for the season.
Warm models
- Turn fleece-lined pieces inside out to wash. It reduces pilling.
- If the fleece flattens, fluff it gently by hand once dry.
Water no longer beading up?
Over time drops stop rolling off. Spray the outer layer evenly with a water-repellent spray made for nylon and polyester, let it dry in the shade, and it is as good as new.
