Do you have a ski jacket?
The care label is usually located in a small inside pocket in the inner lining on the left side seam.

Do you have ski pants?
The care label is located in a small inside pocket in the inner lining on the left side seam or on the inside waistband of the pants.

Do you have a midlayer?
The care label is usually located on the inside of the left pocket pouch or directly in the left pocket.

Do you have a first layer or a sweater?
The care label is located on the inside of the left side seam.

Do you have a hat or gloves?
You will also find a care label on the inside of the item.

Always check the label on your garment to ensure that you are following the recommended care instructions.

For the sake of the environment and durability, only wash your garment when it really needs it.

If the garment is very dirty, we recommend washing it as soon as possible to avoid stains.

Turn Firstlayer inside out before washing.

Close all zippers.

Only fill your washing machine to the recommended capacity.

Only wash garments of similar colors together to avoid the risk of discoloration.

Only use color detergents, i.e. detergents without optical brighteners.

Do not use fabric softener. This can impair the breathability of the materials and increase the tendency of jerseys and wool to pilling.

As a rule, we recommend a gentle wash cycle with a washing temperature of 30°C and a spin cycle with a reduced number of revolutions. This is gentle on both the colors and the material and also reduces water and energy consumption.

Dry your garments immediately after washing. Do not leave them wet in the washing machine! Despite the best possible color fastness of the materials used, discoloration may occur in textiles with strong light-dark contrasts if the garment is left damp for a long time.

Most items can be hung up to dry. This means they keep their shape, last longer and save energy compared to tumble drying. The tumble dryer can damage the elastic fibers, membranes or sealed seams and is therefore not recommended in most cases.

Shake your jacket from time to time during the drying process to restore the volume of the filling.

As a rule, you do not need to iron your TONI SAILER garments. However, if you do want to iron an item, first check the care label to see if the garment can be ironed. Make sure the ironing temperature is low (1 point) and keep the iron away from prints, appliqués and other decorations.

Use a down detergent and wash the item very gently according to the instructions on the care label.

We recommend an additional rinse cycle to ensure that the detergent is completely rinsed out of the down and the garment. Detergent residues on the down can lead to a reduction in fill power.

If you air dry the jacket, shake it up from time to time. This will restore the volume of the down filling.

Does the care label allow tumble drying?
If so, you can put the jacket in the tumble dryer together with 2-3 dryer balls (or clean tennis balls) and dry at a low temperature (1 point). This may require several drying cycles. When you feel that your jacket is dry, hang it on a hanger for a further 24 hours to allow any residual moisture to escape from the down.

Use a wool detergent and wash the item on the wool cycle in cold or lukewarm water.

Wool items should be dried flat so that they retain their shape.

Pilling can form during wear due to friction. This is caused by loose fiber ends coming loose from the textile. This is a natural characteristic of use and is not a quality defect. You can carefully remove these pills with a lint comb or a lint shaver.

DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is a polymer coating that increases the surface tension and ensures that water beads off and penetrates the material less quickly. This polymer substance is applied to the outer fabric of water-repellent garments, protecting your ski jacket or ski trousers from moisture.

In the past, DWR was achieved with the help of "per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances" (abbreviated to PFAS), which comprises a large group of chemical compounds consisting of carbon and fluorine atoms.

Because they have a water-, grease- and dirt-repellent effect on surfaces, they are used in many products. These substances are also responsible for the "lotus effect" on outdoor clothing and ensure that rain simply rolls off and the fabric does not become soaked.

PFAs do not occur in nature and cannot be broken down. This means that the more PFASs enter the environment, the more they accumulate there and endanger the health of animals and humans.

TONI SAILER already only uses PFAS-free alternatives to prevent rain and dirt from beading off products. This finish is often not quite as durable as the conventional PFC-containing variants. It wears off over time and washes out after several washes. You should therefore not wash your garment more often than necessary and refresh the protection as soon as you notice that the surface moisture is no longer beading off as it used to.

We recommend using a waterproofing spray for clothing. With this treatment, the DWR is only applied to the outside of the garment, i.e. exactly where it is needed.

You can treat individual areas that need refreshing as well as the entire garment.

In either case, follow the instructions and the individual instructions of the spray manufacturer.
