Fabric Care

Most waterproof and/or breathable products are originally treated with a protective coating which prevents saturation. This durable water repellant needs to be treated by replenishing it with a waterproof cleaner once per season. Base layers buildup unpleasant body odor over time and need to be cleaned effectively. Other fabrics will decrease in their ability to insulate when worn out or washed incorrectly.

Regular detergents can be too harsh for conditioning your chic and priceless WinterWomen.com apparel.
