Arc'teryx | How To Wash Your Down

Down can lose its loft when feathers become clumped or contaminated from dirt, sweat and moisture.
Here’s how to restore a down jacket’s insulating performance. A gentle wash and thorough dry is the solve.
Use these superpowers sparingly and carefully.

Thank you so much!!!! I wash it all with my the north face jacket! So puffy with tennis ball❤

[@veronica2764]

Please do not follow this instructions. I just have ruined a beautiful down Italian jacket!

Thanks for the sacrifice, real warrior😂

You need to start dipping your pizza in ketchup that’s why

[@user-he7zf2pp4w]

This comment is too funny😂

[@wongdanny2494]

when put the puffy jacket inside the dryer, does it need to unzip the front zip??

[@jar.n0]

i'd say leave it zipped. It's to prevent ripping/damage to your jacket

[@heldermartins4855]

And how should you wash Parkas, with goretex and dawn?

[@srenmllerjepsen6137]

With the same type of wash ?: down wash. If you wanna reapply DWR on the Goretex, do it with a spray on the outer shell just after washing and put it in the tumble dryer 😊

do yourself a favor; watch the video arcteryx put out 5 years ago regarding the same topic

[@drunkmonkk.1350]

Just came back from watching the 5 year old vid and it was more informative than this one for sure

[@queenC6969]

Would these instructions be the same for the Atom LT?

[@fpdk]

Atom LT is a down jacket so yes.

[@bostonpops33]

@@fpdk Atom LT is synthetic, not down. Care is pretty much the same, but you don't have to be as precious with it as it is more durable.

[@a12345494]

I treat my atom lt like a beater jacket. I wash it with my other clothes using all natural detergent. After 4 years, it still looks new. The key is to wash the jackets more often than not.

[@srenmllerjepsen6137]

Wash it with a performance wash as you would use for a Goretex jacket. Rinse as they show in the video after washing it.

[@Flarin]

But how to dry it without a dryer?

[@Alfador42]

Step 1 - get a job
Step 2 - save monies
Step 3 - Buy dryer
Step 4 - Use dryer to dry puffer

[@trithemis]

Use your neighbour’s dryer. Money is not the reason for not having a dryer. The environment / climate is.

[@bostonpops33]

Laundromat. Air drying a down jacket is not an option.

I agree with others this is a terrible video watch the older one.

Arc'teryx videos used to be more professional. I'm tired of this gorpcore trend....🥱😒
