Snowboard Jackets Care: Washing, Storing, Re-Proofing to Extend Life

Other jackets, like an Anorak snowboard jacket, can be washed in the tumble dryer at the low setting to reactivate the DWR coating, though it is always advisable to check the label. No matter how carefully you care for your jacket, its waterproof treatment will eventually wear off. When water no longer beads on the surface but begins to soak in, especially on high-wear areas like shoulders or sleeves, it is time to re-proof.
