How do you dry a water repellent jacket?

You can dry a water repellent jacket either by air drying or tumble drying on a low setting, but always check the care label first.

Here's a breakdown of both methods:

• Air Drying:

  • Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area. A nice breeze is ideal.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, as it can damage the fabric and water repellent finish.
  • Ensure the jacket is fully unzipped and any pockets are open to promote even drying.

• Tumble Drying (Low Setting):

  • Check the care label before tumble drying. Some manufacturers advise against it.
  • Use the lowest heat setting available on your dryer. High heat can damage the water repellent coating.
  • A short cycle is often sufficient. Check the jacket periodically to avoid over-drying.

Important Considerations:

• Care Label: Always prioritize the manufacturer's instructions on the care label.
• Avoid High Heat: High heat can damage the water repellent finish and potentially shrink or warp the fabric.
