How to properly wash a snowboard/ski tech jacket?

+1
−0

I have a 10k mm waterproof jacket from Quiksilver and I was wondering if there is any supposed way I should wash it properly.

I know about Nikwax tech wash and have a bottle of it, but how much should I use of it?

Do I need to prepare or clean the washing machine before (from other detergents and residue) and what setting should I put it on?

Do i need to use 1k spin centrifuge? What sensitivity should I pick, a more harsh like cotton or something more easier like wool? Should I dry hang?

So that appears to be made of "Dry Flight 10K" whatever that is... o_O I can't find any washing instructions for this...whatever it is

Reading between the lines a little I'm guessing it's breathable in which case I'd follow the below instructions:

  • Thoroughly clean your washing machine and remove residues (I alwasy run a rinse though first)
  • Wash with a non-detergent cleaner like NikWax tech wash
  • The Jacket should have labels telling you what temperature,Spin cycle, etc. to wash on, see this key of symbols wash it following these instructions
  • While its wet re-proof it using a water proofing agent (I prefer spray on ones as I find they work better, something like NikWax Tx Direct
  • If you can tumble dry your coat, check the label again: enter image description here ..do so. Tumble drying will aid the proofer attaching to the coat.
  • If you can't tumble dry it line dry as usual
