How to Wash Patagonia Waterproof Jacket
Put your jacket in the washing machine by itself. No jeans. No towels. Nothing. It’s a solo mission. Use a front-loader if you can. Top-loaders with that giant agitator column in the middle? Those are jacket destroyers. If you have to use a top-loader, put the jacket in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
Now, the soap. This is the part where most people mess up. Do not use regular detergent. That stuff has fabric softeners, brighteners, and other weird chemicals that will clog the jacket’s pores faster than you can say “retail price.” You need a specialized tech wash. Brands like Nikwax Tech Wash or Grangers Performance Wash are your best friends. They clean without ruining the magic.

Use the recommended amount—usually a tiny squirt. Run a delicate or gentle cycle with cold water. Double rinse is your secret weapon. You want every last speck of soap gone. Soap residue is just dirt in disguise.
