are you gonna nikwax em?
doesn't washing outerwear strip waterproofing?
you probably shouldn't put em in the dryer, generally it's better to hang dry synthetic fabrics.

There's a tag on your outerwear somewhere that says how to care for the garment. Just follow the directions.

please explain to me how plastic would shrink. COTTON shrinks. not nylon, which is basically plastic.


youre fine, wash cold, and dry on the lowest setting.
