GORE-TEX^® products are not only built to last, they're easy to take care of too.

Routine care and maintenance will ensure the highest performance and extend their useful lifespan.

GORE-TEX^® Outerwear

• WASH - Machine-wash warm water (40°C/104°F). Use a powder or liquid detergent. No fabric softener. For best results it is important to rinse the garment thoroughly after washing to remove all soap and detergent residues. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

• DRY CLEAN - If professionally dry-cleaned, request clear distilled solvent rinse and spray repellent. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

• IRON - Steam-iron warm, placing a towel or cloth between the garment and the iron. No need to iron the garment until it is completely dry.

• BLEACH - No chlorine bleach. It may damage your garment.

• DRY - Tumble-dry warm. The heat from the dryer will help to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment on your garment's outer fabric. Always read and follow manufacturer's care instructions.

• WATER REPELLENT TREATMENT - Gore recommends applying a topical water repellency restorative (DWR treatment) for outdoor fabrics, available at your local outdoor retailer. We do not recommend wash-in treatments as they can affect the garment's breathability.

• STAIN REMOVAL - Prewash stain removers can be used to treat stains on your garment. Treat stains as quickly as possible for best results, following its manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure your garment is rinsed well after washing.
