CARE INSTRUCTIONS

How do I care for my garments? 
We uses a variety of fabrics and materials to make our products. They give you freedom of movement, breathability, wind proofing, waterproofing and warmth. They each need their individual care to prolong the life of the product.

This is only for general guidance and it always best to check the label for the correct care instructions.

Only wash your garments when it becomes necessary, frequent washing can damage the technologies incorporated in the fabrics.Before washing remove any detachable accessories, such as faux fur trims and close all the fasteners. Wash with other similar colour clothing.

Never use biological detergents as these would be detrimental to the clothing fabric.

Only use Non biological detergents. Do not use fabric softener as these can harm the breathability and moisture management of your garments. (Check that your detergents do not have fabric softener included)

Do NOT use bleaching agents and make sure your detergents do not have a bleaching agent within them.

Check individual garment care label instructions for drying. 

Do not iron on prints, badges, reflectors, or embroidery.

Are there any special instructions to care for waterproof garments? 
Our waterproof garments have an outer durable water repellent (DWR) coating to the surface of the fabric. Salt, dirt, wear and tear or repeated washing can lead to this treatment wearing off leaving the clothing less durable. Retreating your garment can be done but we recommend only doing this when it is necessary, and it feels like your coat is leaking. We recommend using Nikwax Tech Wash to clean our waterproof garments and Nikwax TX Direct to reproof. These can be found here

To check whether your waterproof garment needs washing and reproofing pour some water from a cup onto the sleeve. If it beads and rolls off the fabric it is fine and does not need treating. 

Our waterproof garments also have waterproof membranes and taped seams to the underside of the fabric. These can become brittle and crack if subject to high temperatures which will affect the life of garment.  Do not hang waterproof garments on radiators or towel rails to dry. Place on a garment hanger and leave in a vented area to dry. 

For further information on waterproof fabrics visit our blog HERE.

If you require any further advice on our products, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email.
