FAQ'S

Why should I use a Down Wash & Proof?

Unlike household detergents, Storm Down Wash is specially formulated to avoid stripping out any of the natural oils in the down when cleaning. A proofer is needed to ensure long lasting performance. Wet down is worse that no down, proofing restores the DWR (durable water repellency) finish to your garments.

Can I wash & proof my garments in one wash cycle?

Absolutely, with Storm’s easy care system the clean and proof work at separate times in the wash cycle. It is impossible to have both wash and proof in one bottle. When using Storm wash & proof, pour the wash solution into the detergent compartment & pour the proof solution into the conditioner compartment of your washing machine. For best results clean out the detergent compartments before putting the wash and proof in.

Do I need to tumble dry?

For best results, we recommend tumble drying as our DWR treatment is heat activated. This will also mitigate any risk of your gear producing "smelly down" after becoming wet.

Why are Storm bottles smaller than other providers?

Storm wash and proof is a higher concentrated solution. We use less water in our product, reducing environmental impact without reducing performance.
