Longevity – Enjoy your Haukland jacket even longer with these tips

Velcro

You can reduce or enlarge the gap around your wrist with the Velcro fastener on the sleeves. This helps on cold or very windy days. Make sure that the Velcro is attached correctly, so that the Velcro does not get caught on the wind stopper or other clothing.

The Velcro should not protrude downwards. If the small barbs protrude, they can get caught on the wind stopper or on other clothing. It's not dramatic, but it can create unsightly loops.

Correct: The Velcro fastener does not protrude downwards.

Wrong: Part of the Velcro protrudes so that the barbs can get caught on the wind stopper.

Worst case: Unsightly pilling effect on the wind stoppers. (Please note: Old Velcro fastener of the V1 jacket)

Washing and water proofing

Both the Haukland outer jacket and the Haukland pants are impregnated. After heavy downpours, this impregnation decreases over time and has to be renewed at some point. A run in the washing machine is of course even stronger than a rain shower and affects the impregnation even more. The ingredients in the detergent can also damage both the materials and the impregnation.

That's why there are special outdoor detergents and wash impregnations that you can also use for Haukland products. They freshen up the impregnation during washing. Impregnation from the outside with a spray is also possible, similar to shoes.
You should refresh the impregnation at least once a year. Especially if you are out and about a lot in the rain and definitely after/during every washing.

If you can, avoid washing your jacket. In most cases, the outside of the jacket can be cleaned easily and gently with a sponge.

Neither the outer jacket nor the trousers should be washed with fabric softener and should not be put in the dryer.
You can find the exact washing instructions on the respective garment.
