Revised 
Garment and Fabric Care Procedures
The Laundry and Care guides for all Aerostich Gore-Tex textile gear has just been significantly revised as a result of newly-completed testing results obtained by by technicians at Gore-Tex. The newly recommended laundering procedures noticeably help Aerostich rider's jackets, pants and one-piece garments function better in extreme and severe conditions, and also last longer.
The critical changes involve the types and amounts of detergents and fabric treatments recommended, and changes which increase the effectiveness of Gore Tex's unique breathable-waterproof membrane. Essentially, all powdered detergents, fabric softeners, and other kinds of additives should no longer be used. Small amounts of liquid detergents are the only recommended type of cleaning agent, and clear-water-no-soap double rinsing are also recommended. Drying in a clothing dryer is also recommended to renew the fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellant) treatment.
Additional specifics and further details are now available in all updated Owners Guides, for all Aerostich garments, which are all available for downloading here.
Also, Aerostich provides complete cleaning and factory renewing services with prices starting at $35.00 and do-it-yourself wash-in-DWR renewing kits with prices starting at $12.00.
