ReCare - WASH + DRY
Dirt, sweat and grime will age your gear prematurely. Each material requires its own unique care and handling, to enjoy a long and productive life. (Don’t we all?)
Optimum state: clean and grease-free; beading water.
When left unwashed, dirt and sweat will compromise the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane. Washing your garments regularly and re-treating them with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) will ensure your gear’s performance and long life.
For garments that combine both GORE-TEX and Down fabrics, play to the gear’s more sensitive side: Follow the Wash + Dry instructions for Down.
Ideally, use a cleaning agent made specifically for GORE-TEX products. We recommend Nu Technical Detergent.
You may also use a liquid free-rinsing soap or gentle detergent. Avoid detergents that contain fabric softeners, fragrance, whiteners or colorants.
Run an extra rinse cycle on your washing machine to ensure any potential residue is fully removed from your garment.
If your garment looks or feels dirty or is no longer beading water, give it a wash.
With Heavy use (e.g. heavy activity) – wash every 5 to 8 days of use
With Light use (e.g. day to day) – wash every 10 to 20 days of use
