Hi, just wondering if anyone has any of the Footjoy Hydroknit waterproof gear and has washed it at all? I’ve got a top and pants but never fully washed them (in a washing machine). I’m reluctant to do it as I don’t want to ruin the waterproofing.

I've washed goretex jackets and other waterproof items, trousers, using basic liquid soap. Cheap and cheerful in supermarkets, Home Bargains and the like. Then tumble dry on a very gentle setting, low and slow.

Nikwax is quality but liquid soap will do the job as well.

The important thing, never washing powder, capsules etc 😱. They will damage the waterproofing.

I use Nikwax Tech wash for my waterproofs. Run the machine on a couple of rinse cycles to clear any detergent caught lurking, can strip the waterproofing off your clothing in no time.
And never ever use conditioner.
