How to look after waterproof gear
- First carefully wash the items with a detergent specifically designed for technical clothing, which will remove dirt an oils to improve the breathability of the fabric.
- Once your garments are washed and dried, you then need to apply a reproofing solution especially for outdoor clothing.

- Finally, you’ll need to dry the solution, a medium-low heat in the tumble dryer should do it, or even carefully drying them on a radiator or with a hair-dryer – and you should have a clean, breathable waterproofs all ready for your next walk.
