Dirt, sweat and grime will age your gear prematurely. Each material requires its own unique care and handling, to enjoy a long and productive life. (Don’t we all?)
Over-compression, dirt, sweat and grime can affect the insulation performance of your garment. Regular wash and care of your garment, as well as giving it space to hang, will help maintain performance and extend its lifespan.
HOW TO WASH
STEP 1
PREPARE FOR WASHING
Close the main and pit zippers.
Open pocket zippers.
Release tension on all elastic drawcords.
STEP 2
WASH AND RINSE
Check the care label on the jacket for exact guidelines.
Choose a front load washing machine, ideally.
If using a top loader (agitator), protect your garment inside a mesh bag for added protection. (If you don't have a mesh bag, don't worry. We use Guppy bags at our Service Centres, or putting your garment in a pillowcase can also work in a pinch.)
Put your garment in the machine and add cleaning agent as indicated on bottle.
Wash on low heat (30°C/86°F) at gentle cycle setting.
Use a second rinse cycle to remove any residual soap.
Do not use fabric softener.
Do not bleach, dry clean or iron.
HOW TO DRY
STEP 1
CHOOSE NORMAL LOW HEAT
Refer to the care tag for specific drying guidelines.
Tumble dry your garment on a low heat setting to help restore the loft.
Do not overheat as there is risk of damage to some synthetic fabrics and materials.
WHICH CLEANING AGENT?
We recommend:
Nu Down Detergent
You may also use a liquid free-rinsing soap or gentle detergent. Avoid detergents that contain fabric softeners, fragrance, whiteners or colorants.
Run an extra rinse cycle on your washing machine to ensure any potential residue is fully removed from your garment.
