Caring for Fjällräven’s Down Products
Down products require proper care to maintain their warmth and usability for years to come. Here are some tips for correct maintenance:
1. Keep your items clean
Down doesn’t like dirt or moisture, so it’s essential to keep your garments and sleeping bags clean:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, and air-dry damp items promptly.
2. Wash when needed
Clean down performs better, but unnecessary washing can wear down its properties. If washing is needed, follow these steps:
- Use a gentle washing program and a detergent specifically designed for down products.
- Wash the item alone on a low spin cycle.
- Rinse thoroughly to ensure no detergent is left in the down.
- NOTE: Extend the time between washing your sleeping bag by using a sleeping bag liner!
3. Dry thoroughly
Drying is a critical phase in caring for down products:
- Use a tumble dryer on low heat. Add clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help “fluff” the down.
- If a tumble dryer is unavailable, pat and fluff the down by hand during the drying process.
- Ensure the item is completely dry before storing it. Moisture can lead to mildew.
4. Storage
Long-term storage affects the quality of down:
- Store down products in a breathable storage bag, not tightly packed.
- Avoid damp or hot storage areas.
Tip: Repair and maintain
Small tears can be easily patched using Fjällräven’s repair kit. If the down starts to escape, repair the damage as soon as possible to maintain the insulation properties.
Fjällräven’s down products are a valuable investment, and with proper care, they will serve you exceptionally well in all conditions—from blizzards to arctic cold.
