so wash it in washing machine on cold with "Loft Tech Wash" then manually apply "Waterproofing Wax"

Glad this topic came up as I too wondered how I would clean our textile jackets as they are looking grubby now. Our armour doesnt come out though so not sure how to clean ours, cant put them in the machine. Confused
