How do I wash wool pieces?
Spot clean when you can. For bigger washes, use cold water, gentle cycle, and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry.
How do I wash technical shells?
Cold wash on gentle cycle with a tech wash (no fabric softener). Hang dry. This keeps waterproofing intact.
Can I machine wash flannels, hoodies, and fleece?
Yes. Cold wash, tumble dry low, no bleach.
Do dryers or irons damage gear?
Yes. Heat breaks down waterproof coatings and wax. Air dry everything to extend life.
How often should I reapply waterproofing?
When water stops beading on the fabric. For waxed canvas, apply a fresh coat of wax. For shells, use a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment after cleaning.
