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

Do you have ski pants?
The care label is located in a small inner pocket in the 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 or directly in the left pocket.

Do you have a base layer or a sweater?
The care label is located on the inside of the left side seam. Do you have a hat or gloves? Here, too, you will find a care label on the inside of the item.

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

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

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

Turn Firstlayer inside out before washing.

Close all zippers.

Only fill your washing machine to the recommended capacity.

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

Please only use color detergent, i.e., detergent 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 pill.

We generally recommend a gentle wash cycle at 30°C and a spin cycle at reduced speed. This protects both the colors and the material and also reduces water and energy consumption.

Dry your clothes 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 helps them keep their shape, last longer, and save energy compared to using a dryer. Tumble dryers can damage elastic fibers, membranes, or sealed seams, so they're usually not recommended.

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

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

Use a down-specific detergent and wash the item particularly 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 out from time to time. This helps the down filling regain its volume.

Does the care label allow tumble drying?
In this case, you can place the jacket in the dryer together with 2–3 dryer balls (or clean tennis balls) and dry it at a low temperature (1 dot). This may require several drying cycles. If you feel that your jacket is dry, hang it on a hanger for another 24 hours to allow any remaining moisture to escape from the down.

Use a wool detergent and wash the item on the wool cycle with cold or lukewarm water (at most hand-warm).

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

During wear, small fiber balls (pilling) may form due to friction. They are caused by loose fiber ends that come away from the fabric. This is a natural characteristic during use and does not represent a quality defect. You can carefully remove these pills with a lint comb or a fabric shaver.

DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is a polymer coating that increases surface tension, causing water to bead up and making it harder for moisture to penetrate the material. This polymer substance is applied to the outer fabric of water-repellent garments, protecting your ski jacket or ski pants from moisture.

In the past, DWR was achieved using “per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances” (abbreviated as PFAS), which comprise a large group of chemical compounds made up of carbon and fluorine atoms.

Because they make surfaces resistant to water, oil, and dirt, they are used in many products. These substances are also responsible for the “lotus effect” in outdoor clothing, ensuring that rain simply beads off and the fabric does not become soaked.

PFAS do not occur naturally and cannot be broken down. This means: the more PFAS enter the environment, the more they accumulate and pose a risk to the health of animals and humans.

To ensure that rain and dirt bead off products, TONI SAILER now uses only PFAS-free alternatives. However, this finish is often not quite as durable as conventional PFC-containing versions. It gradually wears off and washes out after several washes. Therefore, you should not wash your garment more often than necessary and should reapply the protection as soon as you notice that surface moisture no longer beads off as it used to.

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

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

In all cases, follow the instructions and specific guidance provided by the spray manufacturer.
