:quality(100))
Can you wash a waterproof jacket?
Yes. Washing and reproofing a waterproof jacket is safe and necessary to keep it performing properly. Dirt, sweat, and worn-off coatings reduce water resistance, but with the right care, you can restore it. This applies to all waterproof fabrics like GORE-TEX, DryVent, Pertex Shield, and eVent.
It's important to wash your jacket correctly. We'll break down how to do this.
Why do you need to wash your waterproof?
Regular washing is key to keeping your waterproof performing at its best. Dirt, sweat, and body oils can clog the fabric's pores, reducing breathability and trapping moisture inside the jacket. Dirt can also stop the DWR coating from making water bead up.
