Merino wool cools, warms, prevents strong odors, is soft and light. In addition, the care of the natural material is simple. In order to guarantee the longevity of the product, a few things should nevertheless be observed when washing.

WASH

1Close the zippers and turn the product to the left

2Use wool detergent (ph-neutral, without protease)

3Wash between 30° Celsius | 86° Fahrenheit and 40° Celsius | 104° Fahrenheit in normal wash cycle

DRY

1Dry in the air

The comfort and function of GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ are well balanced. This ratio can be affected by permanent external influences such as fats, salts or other dirt. The care of the products ensures balance and full functionality.

WASH

1Place the product in the washing machine with closed zippers, loosened Velcro and drawcords

2Do not wash together with other heavily soiled laundry

3Use liquid detergent for functional textiles

4Wash in a gentle cycle (max. 40° Celsius | max. 104° Fahrenheit)

5Rinse 2 times with clear water

6Spin at the lowest possible speed

DRY, IRONING & IMPREGNATION

1DRY Air drying Alternative: Dry in dryer at warm temperature and low speed.

2IRONING Alternatively to the dryer, the impregnation can also be reactivated by ironing (warm, without steam). Products with a permanently water-repellent surface must not be ironed! Place a cloth between the garment and the iron.

3IMPREGNATION GORE® WINDSTOPPER®: If water no longer beads off, re-impregnate. Permanently water repellent surfaces: Wash and rinse twice. Do not reimpregnate

High performance equipment requires regular care to ensure that all functions are fully maintained and that the longevity of the product is guaranteed. Because sweat, grease, oils and dirt reduce the range of functions. Therefore, all GORE-TEX® – GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ products should be washed and dried regularly. This ensures that no rain can penetrate even during the next use.

WASH

1Place the product in the washing machine with closed zippers, loosened Velcro and drawcords

2Do not wash together with other heavily soiled laundry

3Use liquid detergent for functional textiles

4Wash in a gentle cycle (max. 40° Celsius | max. 104° Fahrenheit)

5Rinse 2 times with clear wate

6Spin at the lowest possible speed

DRY, IRONING & IMPREGNATION

1DRY After air drying, tumble dry for 20 minutes. This reactivates the permanently water-repellent impregnation of the upper material.

2IRONING Alternatively to the dryer, the impregnation can also be reactivated by ironing (warm, without steam). Place a cloth between the garment and the iron.

3IMPREGNATION If the impregnation can no longer be activated by drying, it is advisable to apply a new impregnation.

In order to maintain the insulating effect of the down in a product, it should be washed regularly. Wet and clotted down lose their bulking power, and thus their ability to store warm air. If lumps of down can already be seen from the outside or if an unpleasant odor can be detected, the down product should be washed.

That's how it works: test

3Allow to cool for at least 1 hour and shake occasionally

4Dry again for 60 minutes

5Allow the product to cool down and check for residual moisture when cold

6If necessary, repeat the drying process

Every functional garment loses its performance through intensive use. Accordingly, garments should also be washed with synthetic insulation. The principle of regularity is as follows: as rarely as possible, as often as necessary. Sweat stains, dirt, odor and the way in which the product is used give information about when the product should be washed.
