Washing instructions

Our products are made to last, but you need to take care of them and make sure you follow the correct washing instructions. This is important to ensure you don’t damage the water-resistant properties and colors of the fabric.

Non-insulated products

When it’s time to wash your poncho, pants or other non-insulated BLÆST products, you can easily do that by following these steps:

  1. Do not dry clean.
  2. Close all zippers, buttons, and sleeve cuffs.
  3. Remove the attachable reflective tags. If your product has a belt, you should remove this too, if possible.
  4. Make sure you wash the garment separately.
  5. Use a mild detergent, but no bleach, softening or rinsing agents. They can damage the water-resistant properties and colors of the fabric.
  6. Machine wash at 30º. If possible, select a wash cycle that rinses the garment twice.
  7. Hang the product to dry. Do not tumble dry.
  8. Do not iron.

    Down jackets

    Washing a down/insulated jacket can seem like a daunting task, which is understandable. It does take time. But if you’ve spilled hot chocolate or played outside in the mud with your kids, you might have to. Luckily, our jackets can handle machine wash and tumble dryer – so all you have to do, is follow a few easy steps:

    1. Do not dry clean.
    2. Before you wash your down jacket, make sure to close all zippers, buttons, and sleeve cuffs.
    3. Remove the attachable reflective tags. If your product has a belt, you should remove this too, if possible.
    4. Turn your jacket inside out and make sure the front zipper is closed.
    5. Wash the jacket alone, with tumble dryer balls. If your washing machine has a program for down products, you should use this. If not, select a gentle washing program at 30º.
    6. Use a mild detergent, but no bleach, softening or rinsing agents. They can damage the water-resistant properties and the color of the fabric.
    7. Tumble dry at low heat with tumble dryer balls. If you don’t have a tumble dryer, you should hang-dry the jacket. Make sure you shake and puff the jacket every half hour until it’s completely dry.
    8. Do not iron the product.

      Water repellent spray

      As an add-on you can use water repellent spray on the outside of the garment after washing, for optimal water-resistance. This has nothing to do with the waterproof quality of the garment, but it does make it easier for water to roll off the outer fabric.

      You can use water repellent spray on both down jackets and non-insulated garments.
