A good waterproof jacket is essential for outdoor life – whether you’re going camping in the mountains, hiking, cycling or riding a motorbike.
Without protection from the rain, a weekend walk can quickly turn into an ordeal, but with the right waterproof jacket and trousers you can sing in the rain!
Buying waterproof gear is only half of the solution, though.
The secret is keeping it in good working order.
The eco dry cleaner for clothes, accessories and footwear, Mura My Laundry, is here in Pitești to help you care for your outdoor gear: hiking, trekking, camping, skiing and more.
Without proper aftercare, you may start to notice that your gear protects you less against the weather.
You should never wash waterproof gear (ski jackets, ski trousers, ski suits, hiking or trekking gear, etc.) with standard detergent or fabric softener.
Our advice:
Don’t get into the habit of washing waterproof gear after every wear. Only wash it when it gets dirty (dirt reduces performance over time) or when you notice water soaking into the fabric instead of beading on the surface. And if you’ve had your waterproofs for ages, it may be time to treat yourself to new ones.
