How to care for your Albion rainwear products

Caring for Albion rainwear products is very simple, and will help maintain high performance throughout the lifetime of the product.

One of the most important ways to care for your Albion rainwear products is to wash them regularly. This removes dirt and oils that can build up on the fabric and affect your garment’s performance.

Before washing, always read the care label inside your product and follow any specific instructions provided. Close all zips, fasten any velcro straps and ensure pockets are empty.

For the best results we recommend using a specific performance clothing product such as Nikwax Tech Wash.

After washing, line or hang dry your jacket, or if you have access to a tumble dryer, tumble-dry on a low setting.

Albion rainwear products use a durable water repellent (DWR) finish to prevent the outside of the fabric from absorbing water. This DWR finish is key to maintaining the water resistance of Albion waterproof products.

Over time, this DWR finish will become less effective. You can ‘re-activate’ the DWR by tumble-drying on a low setting for 30 minutes.

After extensive wear and washing, you may need to reapply the DWR to your jacket. We recommend using Nikwax TX.Direct. Follow the instructions as provided on the container.
