How to Wash Your Hardshell Jacket?Updated 2 hours ago

To keep your jacket performing at its best and avoid any mishaps during cleaning, please follow the steps below carefully:

Step 1 | Prepare Your Garment

Before washing, take a few moments to prep your jacket properly:

• Close all zippers, buttons, and Velcro fastenings

• Loosen any elastic drawcords to avoid strain

• Remove surface dirt or debris by gently rinsing the jacket with water

• Wash the garment separately from other items to avoid damage or color transfer

Step 2 | Washing

• Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (lukewarm water)

• Use a liquid detergent, preferably one designed for technical fabrics (we recommend Nikwax Tech Wash)

• Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or rinsing agents

• After the wash cycle, run an extra rinse to make sure all detergent is removed

• Do not dry clean

Step 3 | Reapply Water Repellency (If Needed)

If your jacket’s water repellency has started to wear off:

• Wash it a second time, this time using a DWR treatment (e.g., Nikwax TX.Direct)

• After treatment, tumble dry on low heat to help activate the DWR coating

Step 4 | Drying

• For regular washes, air dry the jacket naturally by hanging it in a well-ventilated area

• Make sure the jacket is completely dry before storing it

General Storage Tips

• Always store your jacket only when fully dry

• Choose a cool, dry place that’s free from excess heat and humidity

• Avoid storing your jacket in tight, compressed spaces for extended periods

Proper care helps extend the life of your outerwear and ensures it performs at its best for years to come. If you’re unsure about reproofing or specific detergents, feel free to reach out to our support team at [email protected].
