Keep your outdoor gear in top condition with our cleaning and treatment products. Using the correct cleaners helps preserve their technical qualities, such as water repellency and breathability. Applying a reproofing agent after washing restores the fabric's ability to shed water, which is important for staying dry. Following the care instructions for your jackets and footwear will prolong their lifespan and ensure they function as expected when you need them.

This collection includes specific cleaners for waterproof materials, down-filled jackets, and footwear. You will also find various reproofing applications, including sprays and wash-in liquids, to suit different item types. For boots, we have waxes and conditioners to maintain leather and fabric surfaces. Regular upkeep of your equipment not only maintains its appearance but also its functional integrity, saving you money by extending the life of your gear. Proper cleaning and reproofing are simple steps that yield significant results, keeping your jackets and footwear ready for your next outing. Taking care of your equipment is a straightforward process that makes a noticeable difference in how your gear serves you in the field.
