    +1 Grangers. Just make sure you wash out the detergent thingy on your washing machine first.

    My Altura jacket is so old I just bung it in the wash with everything else, then the tumble drier to follow. It still keep the worse off.

    So far, hose or get in the shower with it on… You’re unlikely to kill the waterproofing when washing it but any detergent based washing powder/liquid will remove the water repellency which means it will wet out as soon as it rains and lose all breatheability. When the diet gets too ingrained it’ll lose the repellency anyway so soap or Techwash will be needed to get that back (and maybe reproofing once you’ve been through that a few times).
