Dry | Step 1

• Tumble dry on a warm gentle cycle or line dry your outerwear.
• Don't dry at a high temperature.

Step 2

• Once dry, tumble dry for a further 20 minutes to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment.
• If a dryer isn't available, iron the garment on a gentle setting.
• When ironing, protect the garment with a towel or cloth.
• Don't use steam.
• You can do this step any time you notice the water repellency needs a boost.

Re-apply | Step 1

• If water doesn’t bead and run off after washing, you’ll need to reapply a durable water repellent (DWR).
• Use a DWR product of your choice, available as a pump-spray or a wash-in product.

Step 2

• Following application, tumble dry your garment for 20 minutes to activate the DWR treatment.
• Or iron the dry garment on a gentle setting (warm, no steam) , placing a towel or cloth between the garment and the iron.
• Don't apply DWR to GORE-TEX products with a persistent beading surface (e.g. GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™ garments). See special care instructions below.

Special Care

Washing GORE-TEX garments with persistent beading surfaces (e.g. GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™ garments) is slightly different as they have no textile outer layer - the outer layer is the GORE-TEX membrane itself and there's no need for DWR.

• Machine wash on delicate cycle at 105°F/40°C.
• Do not dry clean.
• Do not tumble dry.
• Do not iron.
• Do not bleach.
• Do not apply DWR treatment.

Wash | Step 1

• Remove the laces, then shake out sand, gravel, and dirt from inside the footwear.
• If possible, remove and shake out the foot bed or insole.

Step 2

• Brush off loose dirt with a sponge or brush.
• Then use lukewarm water with a small amount of liquid detergent.
• For leather shoes, check manufacturer's instructions.
• Don't use bleach.
• Don't wash in the washing machine.

Dry

• Dry naturally at moderate temperatures.
• Avoid direct heat.
• Don't let the footwear stay wet too long.
• Convection-style boot dryers work well.

Re-apply

• Once water no longer beads and runs off, re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR).
• Use a water-based restorative, available as a pump-spray.
• Don't use waterproofing waxes or greases, as they can affect your footwear's breathability.

Wash

• Shake out the glove to make sure there’s no grit or dirt inside the main hand chamber and finger cavities.
• Hand wash in lukewarm water.
• Only use a small amount of liquid detergent
• Don't machine wash (machines can be too rough) or dry clean
• Don't use fabric softeners or bleach

Dry

• Gently squeeze water off, from the fingers to the wrist.
• Line dry. Position the gloves with the wrists pointing down.
• Shell gloves can be tumble dried on a low heat setting.
• When gloves are half dry, put them on and make a fist to restore their original shape.
• Don’t place in the sun, or on a heater.
• Don't iron your gloves.

Re-apply

• When water no longer beads and runs off the gloves after washing and drying, you’ll need to re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR).
• Use the pump spray DWR product of your choice.
• Use a water-based leather care product for leather gloves.
