Care & Maintenance
Keep your gear performing at its best with these tips
Maintenance Tips
Keep it in top condition- store uncompressed when possible to preserve loft
- machine-wash cold on gentle, tumble dry low or air-dry
- reapply spray-on DWR if water begins to soak rather than bead
- avoid dragging over sharp or muddy ground; avoid flames
Watch Out For
Known issues to monitor- seam tape/quilting stitches can fray or show loose threads
- DWR will wear over time and may need re-treatment if wetting-out
