SOFTSHELL
Washing instructions: Follow the washing instructions on the care label inside the garment. Do not use fabric softener. Always close zippers and any velcro straps before washing. It is preferable to dry garments in a drying cabinet as tumble dryers may cause greater wear. Adding heat during drying reactivates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment on the fabric surface. The same effect can be achieved by ironing the garment on low heat.
Miscellaneous: Softshell products may have knitted or woven surfaces. A woven surface with robust fibres result in a product that is more durable, while knitted products are naturally more sensitive to wear but on the other hand they are more supple. Different fabric weights also result in garments of varying durability.
