Fill the washing machine. For optimal results you should wash similar colours together.
Please always close buttons, zippers and Velcro closures before washing. This keeps fibers from catching and the clothing from stretching out during the wash cycle.

When your jacket is dry, you can do a water beading test to find out if you need to re-waterproof it. Water should pearl up into beads on the surface of the jacket. To waterproof, we recommend TX-Direct Spray from Nikwax. Spray the outside of the clothing evenly. This leaves the inside untreated to that it can absorb moisture and move it outward.
Please follow the instructions printed on the care product.
