Washing

• Machine washable up to 30°C, zips closed
• We recommend that you add 2 tennis balls and other clothing to the machine. Conventional detergent, no fabric softener or bleach.
• Select an abundant rinse to remove all the detergent.
• Choose a gentle spin to allow the padding fibres to stay in place.   

Drying

• For a good positioning of the padding fibres after washing, we advise you to put your jacket directly into the tumble dryer, with 2 tennis balls
• You can also choose to air dry, preferably flat, by turning your jacket over regularly. 

We have selected the materials for their robustness, and the high level of craftsmanship of our artisans brings a great resistance to the down jacket.

To ensure that your BALTORO Insulation Jacket will be with you for years to come on your outdoor adventures, we will repair it as much as possible in our workshop near the Alps.
