HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER REPELLENCY step 1: before washing

Close all zips and flaps and remove any parts of the garment that cannot be washed. Also remember to loosen the straps and elastic parts and empty the pockets.

Then turn the garment inside out to wash it.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER REPELLENCY step 2: washing

You can wash your jacket on a synthetic cycle at 30° or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach.



Also take care not to bend your jacket too much when you place it in the washing machine and do not overload your machine.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER REPELLENCY step 3: drying

Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water repellent treatment.

We recommend that you lay your jacket flat on a clothes rack and leave it out to dry in the open. Caution: never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.



Then place it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way round. Caution: do not over-dry the garment.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER REPELLENCY

If, despite this procedure of washing and thorough rinsing followed by gentle drying in a tumble dryer, the drops of water no longer run off the surface of your jacket, we recommend that you "re-waterproof" it using a waterproofing spray.
