How to care for and maintain your GORE-TEX Pro garments 

Performance lasts when you care for it. Clean gear means peak performance. 

  • Wash regularly: any wash is better than no wash; washing regularly helps the membrane by removing built-up oils and dirt. 

  • Reactivate the DWR: once dry, apply additional heat (tumble dry or iron on low) to restore water repellence. 

  • Don’t be afraid to wash your GORE-TEX Products: GORE-TEX fabrics are built to withstand machine washing.
