Taking good care of your GORE-TEX garments is easy – and that includes washing your waterproof GORE-TEX outerwear and non-waterproof clothing from the GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ product range.
In this video we will show you why it’s important to care for your jacket & pants. You’ll get useful advice when and how often you should wash your garments and how to check the waterproofing / impregnation layer, also known as DWR (durable water repellent).
This simple process includes 3 steps:
Step 1: Wash
Step 2: Dry
Step 3: Reapply
Be sure to carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s instructions too.

am confused. It's claimed its so fine that water can not soak in, yet, it needs repellent sprayed on?
Hello Goretex,
Can i use Spin Dry Instead the Tumble Dry? I dont have washing machine with Tumble Dry, or can j use blower machine? thank you
Hello. What temperature mark to choose on the iron? One point – for synthetic fabrics, what is 110 °C?
I did not know number 3
Can you apply the spray on to cotton?
You are best washing all such garments by hand with tepid water using pure liquid soap. Putting them in a machine stresses the seams and other parts of the clothing. Then rinse and apply Nikwax or similar product, then rinse in cold water till the water runs clear. Then air dry. This works all the time with my garments.
What kind of accent is that
I don't have an iron. I wonder if a hair drier would work..
Hello, for how many minutes do you need to iron each part of the garment to activate the dwr?
I washed my gortex water repellent jacket now it’s not water repellent anymore what do I do
