As with all MONTANE clothing, Freeflow fabric contains a Durable Water Repellency (DWR) as the first barrier to keeping you dry. Clean your garment in order to maintain this.
Down clothing ideally needs to be handwashed with care.
Wash in a mild soap in warm water 40C/110F. MONTANE recommends Nikwax Tec Wash.
DO NOT use fabric softeners, bleach or liquid detergent.
Rinse the product thoroughly after washing to remove any soap traces.
You must dry the product carefully in a tumble drier on a cool setting. Check regularly that the product is drying well and turn inside out. Never dry clean.
It will take some time to dry a down product thoroughly, even if the outer fabric is dry the down may not be.
MONTANE recommends a professional cleaning service if in any doubt.
