Poster: A snowHead
|
I've got a pair of Gordini gortex goose down ski gloves which could do with a wash. Was thinking of hand washing them in some warm water with a bit of hand wash detergent. Only thing I'm not sure how the goose down inside will fair. Anyone know if this is OK to do? Cheers.

Use Nikwax down wash then tumble dry them in a tumble dry net bag with spike balls (ir tennis balls if you don't have spikes balls) the balls bash the down as it drys and makes it fluffy and stops clumping. I've only done this with Jackets and it is not too bad for down (you can get away with not doing this) but for things like the North face termobobble it is essential.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@bendiddley, I’ve got a pair of Gordini mittens. Have had them for years and love them in cold, windy conditions. I’ve washed them successfully using Nikwax down wash exactly as GlasgowCyclops suggests. The washing doesn’t seem to have affected the snow proofing or breathability.
