CLEANING BREATHABLE GARMENTS

Frequent washing is essential to the life of waterproof/breathable garments. Dirt and sweat build up results in fabric delaminating and/or seam tape peeling. These instructions are a general guide. Always check the care instructions on garment label before taking any of these steps.

Gore-Tex® & other laminates:

  • Machine-wash warm (40C), using non-detergent soap such as Grangers Extreme Cleaner or Nikwax Tech Wash
  • Do not use fabric softener
  • Do not use chlorine bleach
  • Tumble-dry warm
  • Dry clean: follow manufacturer's instructions. If professionally dry-cleaned, request clear, distilled solvent rinse and spray repellent
