How To Measure

With arms relaxed at your sides, measure under your arms around the fullest part of your chest.


Washing: For light marks and dirt, use a wet cloth to wipe down your garment. For more serious cleaning, you can place your Arktis garments in the washing machine with minimal issues. Wash at 30°C using non-bio cleaner. Do not use softeners or bleach. Leave to dry in a warm ventilated room, do not tumble dry. Whilst our ripstop has resistance to dry cleaning, chemicals are used in the production of coatings such as DWR. These chemicals can react with dry cleaning chemicals, so we recommend that you do not use this method. 

Reproofing: A time will come in the life of a waterproof garment where you notice that you are still dry but that the outer garment is becoming waterlogged and heavy. A modest restoration of the outer’s water repellency could help solve this problem – not to make it waterproof but to diminish the absorption of water into the outer fabric. With some coated fabrics, pressing the garment with a cool or “1 Dot” iron will revive the coating to an effective level. The reason behind this is that heat can reactivate the finish, bringing it back to life. It’s always worth trying ironing as the first step. If required you can restore outer water repellency using NIKWAX or similar products. We prefer spray-on type products to allow for precision on key areas. When spraying make sure garment is clean and free from any detergent, focus on the shoulders and hood.
