How do I wash and dry my down jacket and down sleeping bag correctly?

You should wash this down jacket at 30 °C with a gentle cycle.

There are symbols for the recommended care products on the smaller label. We recommend Nikwax Down Wash for the washing cycle and TX Direct Spray from Nikwax for waterproofing if necessary.

Set your washing machine to a gentle cycle with extra rinse and the recommended temperature. If you are using NIKWAX Down Wash, you can omit the extra rinse cycle. The extra rinse cycle is important for ensuring that no residues are left behind on the product.

Important: Please always close buttons, zippers and Velcro closures before washing. This keeps fibers from catching and the clothing from stretching out during the wash cycle.

After the wash cycle, put the down jacket into the dryer with 2 to 3 dryer balls. Dry for 40 – 60 minutes at a low temperature using the gentle cycle.

If you have a dryer with a drying sensor, you may want to put a small damp towel inside. Since the outer material dries faster than the filling, these appliances can switch off prematurely and cause the down to clump together while still damp. The towel can prevent this from happening.

Note: The dryer balls will restore the loft in your jacket.

If you don’t have a dryer, you can hang your down jacket on a drying rack in the sun. Turn it often and shake it out while it’s drying to distribute the loft evenly. Repeat this procedure until the down jacket is dry.

Hang the jacket up on a clothes hanger, close all zips and spray evenly with the waterproofing spray. This keeps the inside untreated so that moisture can be absorbed and transferred outward.

Note: Please follow the instructions printed on the care product.
