Care Instructions:
Proper care is essential to maintain the loft and insulating properties of the down filling. Always check the care label on the garment for specific instructions.
- Washing:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (typically 30°C or 40°C).
- Use a small amount of liquid detergent specifically designed for down or technical outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners and powders.
- It is recommended to wash the jacket with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up any clumps of down during the wash and drying process.
- Rinsing:
- Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue. An extra rinse cycle is often beneficial.
- Drying:
- Tumble dry on a very low heat setting. This is crucial for reactivating the water-repellent treatment and restoring the down's loft.
- Add clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the dryer to help fluff the down and prevent it from clumping. Shake the jacket periodically during the drying process.
- Continue drying until the jacket is completely dry and the down is fully lofted. This may take several cycles.
- Storage:
- Store the jacket loosely. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can damage the down's ability to loft.
- Keep in a cool, dry place.
