Whether you use your pants for activities such as alpine skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or simply to enjoy the outdoors with your children or take your faithful companion Fido for a walk, it is essential to give your insulated or soft shell pants the care they need so they can accompany you for many years to come. Follow these tips to ensure the longevity of your pants.
- Machine wash in cold water: To preserve the effectiveness of the water-repellent treatment or waterproofing of your pants, opt for a machine wash in cold water. Use a phosphate-free detergent, such as one of the Granger’s products you will find in our stores. Avoid aggressive detergents that could compromise the technical characteristics of your pants. Reduce the spin speed to a minimum to prevent any damage.
- Closures well closed: Before putting your pants in the machine, make sure to properly close the velcro, snap buttons and zippers. Also loosen the elastic cords to avoid them getting tangled during the wash.
- Flat drying: Synthetic insulated pants, such as snow pants, can be dried flat. You can also put them briefly in the dryer to remove excess water from the lining. However, avoid dry cleaning, as well as coat with a waterproof membrane. It is recommended to wash your pants only when necessary, usually at least once a season, making sure to turn them inside out before putting them in the washing machine.
- Maintain waterproofing: With time and use, the waterproofing of your pants may diminish. Fortunately, there are waterproofing treatments, such as Granger's products, that can help restore this feature. If you need advice on how to proceed, do not hesitate to ask for help from our store staff.
By following these recommendations, you can extend the life of your insulated or soft shell pants, ensuring that they will continue to protect you and keep you dry for many more adventures to come. For more information, do not hesitate to consult our experts in-store.
