Care & Longevity

Hand wash or machine wash at 30°C using liquid detergent or a specialist cleaner. Tumble dry on a low heat with a slow spin speed, or line dry and use a cool iron with a thin cloth barrier to reactivate the DWR treatment. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not iron zips, zip edges or logos.
