How to take care of your CONNEC gear

HARDSHELL:  

Caring for your hardshell depends on how often you use it. 

WASHING/DRYING INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Carefully close all zippers and secure flaps and tie straps.
  2. Machine wash in cold water with a high-performance mild detergent (if you decide to use conventional liquid laundry detergent, make sure it is flagrance free and use a small amount). 
  3. We recommend a second rinse to remove any traces of detergent from the fabric.
  4. Lay your garment out for drying.
  5. (Optional) once the garment is dry, put it in the dryer for 10 minutes at moderate temperature to reactivate the DWR treatment. Be careful not to dry it at a high temperature. 

Remarks:

  • Do not use fabric softeners, bleach or stain removers and never dry clean your garment. 
  • Do not wash your garment at the same time as other garments.  

SOFTSHELL: 

WASHING/DRYING INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Preferably rinse your washing machine before use. This removes any detergents and fabric softeners left inside that could damage fabrics and the DWR coating. 
  2. Carefully close all zippers and secure flaps and tie straps.
  3. Machine wash in cold water with a high-performance mild detergent (if you decide to use conventional liquid laundry detergent, make sure it is flagrance free and use a small amount). 
  4. We recommend a second rinse to remove any traces of detergent from the fabric.
  5. Tumble dry your garment on low to help restore the loft and maintain the DWR treatment after washing.

Remarks: 

  • Do not use fabric softeners, bleach or stain removers and never dry clean your garment. 
  • Do not wash your garment at the same time as other garments.
