tech wash stuff, there's a few brands of it I'd go to REI or EMS or somethin of that sort and they'll know what you're lookin for. I reckon they're special ones for puffy shit too.

^it restores the waterproofing too so if you wash old pants with it they'll be way better.

yeah....just follow the directions on the pants.....you can use some tech wash...or something like that, but it does not clean that well. You could use a regular cleaner, and then just use a waterproofing treatment.

depending on the materials, re-waterproof sometimes requires machine drying on lower settings
