Washing InstructionsUpdated 9 months ago

To avoid any mishaps when washing, follow the instructions below carefully:

Step 1 | Preparation for washing: Close all zippers and velcro and release tension on all elastic draw cords. Remove dirt and impurities on the jacket before it is washed by simply rinsing it with water. Wash your garment separately from other products.

Step 2 | Washing: The garment should be washed in cold water (20 degrees), with a liquid detergent and no softening or rinsing agents. If possible, try using a cleaning agent made specifically for technical fabrics (we recommend Nikwax). Do not use bleach. It is best to rinse the garment one more time after washing to ensure there is no detergent left on the fabric. Do not dry clean.

Step 3 | Reapply water-repellent (if necessary): Remove your Cortazu from the washing machine once washed and shake off the excess water. Hang the damp jacket and spray DWR evenly on the wet face fabric of the garment, focusing on the high-wear areas mentioned above.

Step 4 | Drying: Let the jacket hang out to dry naturally.

General tips: Remember, the jacket must be totally dry before being stowed away. Also good to keep in mind that the environment you store the garment should not be too hot or too humid.
