Frequently Asked Questions

• How to wash a waterproof jacket

  Proper care is essential to preserve the performance of your waterproof jacket. Begin by consulting the care label to understand the manufacturer’s recommendations. Secure all zippers, Velcro tabs, and fastenings before washing to prevent damage. W recommend taking your waterproof jacket to be professionally dry cleaned, or hand washed at home in order to preserve the integrity of the materials. Avoid regular detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof coating and compromise breathability. Once the wash cycle is complete, thoroughly rinse the jacket to remove any detergent residue that could affect its water-repellent properties. To dry, air drying is generally safest, but if the care label permits, tumble drying on low heat can help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) coating. Over time, if water stops beading on the surface of the jacket, reproofing is necessary. Use a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment to restore the jacket’s ability to repel water, ensuring it remains functional for future adventures.

After applying the treatment, ensure the jacket is completely dry before using it again. This will restore its water-repellent layer and keep you protected in wet conditions.
