Packs, shoes, gloves and skin-hugging fibres like fleece and wool, all require their own care and handling, to enjoy a long and productive life. Find wash, dry and waterproof tips for each gear category below.

GLOVES

STEP 1

WASH

Follow the care label on your gloves for how to wash guidelines.
Hand-wash gloves or mitts with a mild detergent in cold water.
Do not use a washing machine or any type of wash-in treatments.
Removable liners should be hand-washed and dried separately.
Always keep both the outer shells and the glove liners inside-right. (Don’t turn either inside-out.)

FLEECE

STEP 1

WASH

Start by checking the exact guidelines on the care label of your fleece garment.
Machine wash in lukewarm water.
For best results, launder garment with similar colors.
Do not bleach.
Avoid use of fabric softeners.
Do not iron or dry clean.
For optimal performance, add your fleece garment to the washing machine when you wash your GORE-TEX jacket using Arcteryx Nu Detergent. It will remove all of the dirt, prevent odor from building up in the fabric and leave no residue.
