Washing Textiles


Recommended Posts

Check out the cleaning instructions in the jacket first, but I would've thought so.


I'd recommend a range of product called NikWax. My ex used to use them for his fishing gear and they have a product that you can use in the washing machine which will reproof your jacket etc. They also do something to put on after you've cleaned them.

What susie says, I use nickwax tecwash and its top stuff. Remove the armour, turn inside out, wash with tecwash and then use a reprofer if the kit is gore-tex or similar, then hang up to dry and re-fit the armour when dry.

washed mine yesterday after my rideout, hung it on a coat hanger, did up the zips/buttons, and sprayed with a garden hose, then left to dry.. don't go firing it at the inside and wooly bits, saves taking the liner and armour out, and drys quickly too, also can give it a spray with nikwax, as well, and leave to dry......
