[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the coat. [b]You can’t just wash the waterproof parkas, you have to do the whole waterproofing rigmarole.[/b] I do it more often with the kids coats. I have a puffer I wear all the time that I wash more often and just accept it’s not really waterproof any more. Same with kid coats. [/quote] Please tell me how to do this![b] I ruined an expensive, wonderful rain jacket by putting it in the washing machine. [/b] [/quote] NP. I would contact the company if you followed directions from the label. Some are shockingly helpful! And others -- e.g., Arc'teryx -- will do repair checks or have a service where they'll wash your coat for you. Fwiw, I thought I had trouble w/my Patagonia losing its waterproofing. I wash machine-washing on cold and hanging to dry. A Patagonia rep let me know that putting it in the dryer would restore the DWR. And it did![/quote]
