Close all the zippers. Release tension on all elastic drawcords. Loosen and secure the velcro velcro tab cuff adjusters.

Wash heavily soiled parts of the jacket with a detergent-containing cleaning agent (e.g. dishwashing gel).

If you are using a washing machine with an agitator (top loader), putting your garment inside a mesh bag will help protect it.

Wash outerwear separately from other items.

For regular washing, use liquid cleaning agents for delicate fabrics. Avoid detergents that contain fabric softeners, fragrance, whiteners or colorants.

For heavily soiled items, you can use powder laundry detergents that do not contain bioactive additives, bleach or chlorine.

Always run an extra rinse cycle on your washing machine to ensure any potential residue is fully removed from your garment. Cleaning agent residues adversely affect the performance of membrane fabrics and insulations.

See the sewn-in care label for exact recommendations.

Washing and Rinsing.
Hand wash heavily soiled parts of the jacket. For jackets laminated with a membrane, use machine wash at 40°C at regular cycle setting. Use a second rinse cycle to remove any residual soap.

Drying.
Place the damp garment in a dryer on medium heat for 40-50 minutes.

Re-apply the DWR (water repellent coating) if necessary.
Test your clean and dry jacket with membrane for DWR preservation with a light splash of water to see if droplets run off the surface of the fabric. If the water droplets do not roll off but are absorbed by the fabric, we recommend applying a new DWR treatment.

How often to wash.
If your garment with fabric laminated with membrane looks dirty or is no longer beading water, it’s time to give it a wash.

For clothing items that combine fabrics with membrane and insulated down, follow the washing instructions for down garments.

DWR is a polymer coating that helps water to bead and roll off your clothing. DWR is applied to our garments at the factory, but you will need to re-apply DWR throughout the life of your garment to maintain its performance. Test your clean and dry jacket with membrane for DWR preservation with a light splash of water to see if droplets run off the surface of the fabric. If the water droplets do not roll off but are absorbed by the fabric, we recommend applying a new DWR treatment.

For DWR treatment we recommend sprays from the brands Nikwax and Profluid.

Spread clean and dry garments out on a flat surface. Shake the DWR bottle well and spray a thin layer evenly on the outer surface. Avoid over-saturating the fabric - a thin coating is sufficient. Rub the DWR into the exterior of the jacket with a clean sponge or cloth to ensure even application and avoid streaking. Hang the garment in a well-ventilated area and allow it to dry for 12-24 hours. This is already enough, but if you have a dryer, heat can improve the effectiveness of the treatment - place the dried garment in the dryer for 10-20 minutes.

See the sewn-in care label for exact recommendations.

Washing and Rinsing.
Hand wash heavily soiled parts of the jacket. For the down jacket, use machine wash on medium heat of 40°C at gentle cycle settings. Use a second rinse cycle to remove any residual soap.

Drying.
Turn the garment inside out. Place the wet garment in the dryer with two “dryer balls” or clean tennis balls to prevent the down from clumping and to help it regain its loft. Dry on low heat. The drying process can take up to 2 hours. Ensure the item is completely and thoroughly dried to avoid clumping or mold.

Refresh the DWR (water repellent coating) if necessary.

If you don't have a dryer or your down jacket is too big and hard to fit in the machine, we recommend taking it to a professional cleaner. There, your down jacket will be rinsed and dried well, following the care recommendations. Detergent residue and poor quality drying can ruin your down jacket.

How often to wash.
We recommend washing down jackets only when necessary: when there are obvious signs of dirt or sweat, when the down has become lumpy, or when it is losing volume.

See the sewn-in care label for exact recommendations.

Washing and Rinsing.
Hand wash heavily soiled parts of the jacket. For the jacket with synthetic insulation, use machine wash in cold water up to 30°C on the gentle cycle. Use a second rinse cycle to remove any residual soap.

Drying.
Dry the clothes in the machine on low heat. Do not overheat, as there is a risk of damaging the synthetic fibers.

Do not use fabric softener. Do not bleach, dry clean, or iron.

See the sewn-in care label for exact recommendations.

Hand wash your gloves with a mild detergent in cold water up to 30°C. Do not use a washing machine or any aggressive laundry detergent. Do not turn your gloves inside out during washing.

Dry the gloves horizontally or vertically away from heating devices. Do not tumble dry.

See the sewn-in care label for exact recommendations.

Wash fleece garments in warm water at 40°C. Do not bleach. Avoid using fabric softeners. Do not iron or dry clean.

Dry the garment inside out in a dryer on low heat.

See the sewn-in care label for exact recommendations.

We strongly recommend dry cleaning your woolen products or hand-wash in cold water up to 30°C with a mild detergent.
