Functional detergents & impregnation – care for and extend the life of your outdoor clothing

For your outdoor clothing, shell jackets and functional garments to perform at their best, proper care is required. With functional detergents and impregnation, you preserve the technical properties of the materials, ensure optimal breathability and extend the lifespan of the garments – while providing you with better protection in the great outdoors.

Why use functional detergents?

Regular detergents can clog membranes and impair the garment's function, especially in materials like Gore-Tex, softshell and other technical fabrics. Functional detergents are designed to gently clean without leaving residues that affect waterproofness or ventilation.

Benefits of functional detergents

• Maintains breathability and waterproofness

• Effectively removes sweat, dirt and oils

• Gentle on technical materials and membranes

• Extends the life of your outdoor clothing

Perfect for shell jackets, rainwear, functional underwear, down products and workout clothes.

Impregnation – restore water protection

Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on jackets, pants and backpacks wears down. Waterproofing restores protection against rain and moisture, allowing water to bead on the surface instead of penetrating.

Benefits of impregnation

• Restores water repellency

• Prevents the garment's outer fabric from getting soaked through (so-called “wet-out”)

• Maintains breathability and comfort even in pouring rain

• Easy to apply – in the washing machine or as a spray

Waterproofing is crucial for outdoor equipment that must withstand harsh weather conditions.

What products do you need?

For best results, two steps are recommended:

1. Cleaning with functional detergents

2. Impregnation that restores water protection

Together they provide maximum performance, longer durability and a garment that feels like new – every time.

Give your garments new life

Whether you're hiking in the mountains, commuting in the rain, or working out year-round, proper care makes a big difference. With functional detergents and impregnation, your garments will perform the way they were designed to, while saving you money by extending their lifespan.
