Paddlesuit Care instructions

Did you know that the way we treat our clothes is a huge part of sustainability? Following the proper care instructions extends the life of products - letting you enjoy your clothing much longer while keeping materials from needlessly ending up in the landfill. Talk about a win-win!

Before washing close all zips. Be sure to follow the garment instructions to ensure high performance.

WASH

Machine wash on a warm permanent press cycle (105º F/40º C) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse twice, minimize spinning to reduce creasing. Do not use powder detergents or any products that contain fabric softeners, conditioners, stain removers or bleach as they will affect garment performance. Do not wash with heavily soiled clothing.

BLEACH

Do not use chlorine bleach.

DRY

Line dry your garment, or tumble dry it on a warm, gentle cycle. Once it is dry, tumble dry your garment for 20 minutes to reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment on the outer fabric.

IRON

If unable to tumble dry, iron the dry garment on gentle setting (warm, no steam) by placing a towel or cloth between the garment and the iron. This will help reactivate the DWR treatment on your garment’s outer fabric.

DRY CLEAN

If professional dry cleaning is necessary, request that the cleaner use clear distilled hydrocarbon solvent for rinsing and then spray DWR on the garment’s outer fabric before drying. Follow garment manufacturer’s instructions.

WATER REPELLENT TREATMENT

When the factory applied treatment can no longer be reactivated, apply a new water-repellent treatment available as a pump-spray to the garment's outer fabric.
