How to Wash a Waterproof Jacket

INTRODUCTIE If your jacket could talk, it would most likely have some pretty good stories. It would also probably ask you for an occasional bath.

There are no set rules as to when you should wash your jacket, but there are a few signs that the time has come: wetting out (no longer water repellent) , stained cuffs or collar, or downright dirtiness! Washing your jacket is simple and will help your jacket to keep all your stories and secrets for another time.
