Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Read the care label

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.
Down jackets usually are washed at 30 °C with a gentle cycle. You’ll find detailed information on the sewn in care label.
Details to the care symbols for washing, bleaching, drying or ironing you will find here: http://help.vaude.com/care-instructions/…

Step 2

              Washing

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.
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

              Drying

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

Step 4

              Waterproofing

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.
Please follow the instructions printed on the care product.
