Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Read the care label on the product
- Set the washing machine to 30 °C with a gentle cycle. There are symbols for the recommended care products on the smaller label. We recommend Nikwax Tech Wash for the washing cycle and TX Direct Spray from Nikwax for waterproofing if necessary.
- Details to the care symbols for washing, bleaching, drying or ironing you will find here: http://help.vaude.com/care-instructions/…

Step 2
- Fill the washing machine. For optimal results you should wash similar colors together.
- 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.

Step 3
Washing
- Set the washing machine to the cycle and temperature recommended on the apparel. In our example it’s 30 °C and a gentle cycle. Put the correct amount of liquid in the dispenser depending on the hardness of your water. You can find out how much you should use by reading the instructions on the care product.
- Do not use fabric softener or bleach!

Step 4
Drying
- For optimal reactivation of the waterproofing (DWR), put the clothing into the dryer for 30 to 50 minutes after washing. Alternatively, you can air dry the clothing in a warm and dry place, however, the waterproofing will not be reactivated.

Step 5
Waterproofing if necessary
- If the waterproofing has been reduced with time, you can treat your jacket with a spray-on waterproofing. We recommend the spray on product from Nikwax for softshell products.
- Please follow the instructions printed on the care product.
