What’s the best way to wash and dry my Vaude softshell jacket?

はじめに

In general, waterproof, water repellent and windproof performance apparel (Sympatex, Ceplex and Windproof products) should be washed as rarely as possible and as often as necessary. Please follow the instructions on the product’s care label. Only use liquid detergent for fine wash or for functional clothing. Even better is functional detergent like Nikwax Tech Wash.

手順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.

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.
