Shell Jackets
All our shell jackets are treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating for added protection. To keep your shell performing at its best over the long term, wash it only when necessary — ideally when it’s visibly dirty or when you notice a drop in performance.
Always use detergents formulated specifically for technical outerwear (we recommend Nikwax Tech Wash or reputable outdoor brands like Grangers).
Regular household or powdered detergents can significantly degrade the DWR layer and shorten the jacket’s lifespan.
For day-to-day care, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is more than enough.
Step 1: Prepare
- Wipe away dirt and debris
- Empty pockets
- Close all zips
- Loosen all straps and chords
Step 2: Wash
- Rinse on an empty cycle to clear any leftover detergent
- Use a technical detergent (preferably one that is designed for waterproof gear). We recommend NikWax Tech Wash
- Rinse twice with low spin
Washing machine settings
- 30-40°C
- Low to no spin (to avoid friction)
- Set an initial rinse cycle to ensure no detergent left
Step 3: Dry & Re-Activate DWR
- Heat is extremely important to reactivate your shell's water-repellant properties
- Tumble dry on low heat for 40 minutes or until fully dry and warm
Step 4: Re-Apply DWR (if needed)
- If you notice the face fabric starting to “wet out” — meaning water no longer beads on the surface — it’s completely normal for all shells after regular use!
- Simply re-apply a fresh DWR coating to restore its water repellency
- We recommend the Nikwax TX Direct Spray On and/or the Nikwax TX Direct Wash-in
Merino Wool
Merino wool is stain resistant, odour resistant and anti-bacterial – meaning it requires less washing. But when you do need to wash it, its really easy!
How to wash your merino wool
- Turn your merino wool inside out.
- Wool garments should be washed on wool setting (usually gentle at 40°C).
- If you do not have a wool cycle, use cold water wash or wash on the delicate setting.
- Use neutral, mild detergent.
How to dry merino wool
- It is recommended to flat dry your merino wool clothing.
- Allow it to dry naturally.
- Knead the garment while flat to straighten out creases if necessary.
- Avoid direct sunlight or heat.
- Avoid using hangers to prevent the wool from stretching.
How to store merino wool
- It is recommended to store your merino wool folded.
- Avoid hanging it among other clothing to prevent stretching and friction which will lead to pilling of your wool garments.
