There’s only one thing worse than a dirty and smelly down jacket and that’s a down jacket that’s been ruined by incorrect washing.
Care for your down!
Nikwax Down Gear Care Kit
For optimal performance and durability, it’s essential to keep washing and reproofing your down kit. However, standard washing detergents will strip the natural oils and ruin the insulation on technical down gear. Fortunately, brands such as Nikwax offer specialist solutions that can be applied at home in a quick and easy way. Products such as Nikwax’s Down Wash and Down Proof solution will ensure your down gear maintains its loft and therefore its warmth, it will restore your jacket’s water repellency and breathability, and it will also greatly increase the lifespan of your gear in the long run.
