How to wash a jacket with synthetic insulation
We have created a care guide for those of you who are unsure about how to wash your Arc'teryx Autumn AR/LT. The guide can also be used for other jackets with synthetic insulation.
When you've invested in a new high-quality jacket, it can be a bit intimidating to toss it into the washing machine. What if it breaks, the quality deteriorates, or the insulation clumps together? If you're not sure exactly how to go about it, natural doubts arise. Therefore, we want to provide you with answers to the questions you have, so you can confidently wash your jacket. We have created a step-by-step guide for both washing and tumble drying, so you don't have to be unsure about anything when your jacket gets dirty.
Is it necessary to wash your jacket?
In fact, it is essential to remember to wash your jacket because not washing it can lead to faster wear and tear. When you use your jacket, it naturally gets dirty with mud, sweat, and various stains or particles from the air that are absorbed by the jacket. All of this wears on the jacket's materials and contributes to it potentially breaking down faster or losing its good qualities. Therefore, a good rule of thumb is to wash the jacket every 30 days of use to ensure it is free of dirt and grime.
Important before washing it!
The most important thing to remember when washing a jacket with synthetic insulation is to use detergent without enzymes, fragrance, bleach, color enhancers, etc. The use of chemical products can damage synthetic materials and reduce their functionality. Additionally, do not spin the jacket too fast, as it unnecessarily wears it out.
Before putting it in the washing machine, zip up the main zipper, open the pockets, and loosen the tension straps.
It's always a good idea to give the jacket a rinse cycle after washing to remove any remaining soap residue from the fabric.
What about tumble drying?
Once the jacket has been washed, it's best to tumble dry it to maintain the loftiness of the insulation. The jacket can collapse if left to air dry. When putting it in the dryer, make sure to keep the main zipper closed, pockets open, and tension straps loose, or else the jacket and insulation may become wrinkled. Set the dryer to low heat, as overheating can damage the jacket.
Below is the "Step-by-step guide" so that you have an overview from start to finish and can see how to approach the washing. If you need to watch a video on it, you can find the guide in video form on our RUclips channel, which is full of tips and tricks for everything from using and caring for equipment to personal development.
