How do I wash my 509 Heated Jacket?

If you own a 509 Syn Loft Ignite Heated Jacket, you're probably familiar with the incredible warmth it provides during cold days on the hill or unexpected overnights. However, when it comes time to clean your jacket, it's important to follow the proper washing instructions to ensure the longevity of the heating wires and components.

Here's a step-by-step guide to washing your 509 Heated Jacket: 

1. Remove the battery: Before washing, always detach the battery from the jacket to prevent any damage to the electrical components. 
2. Close all snaps, buttons, Velcro, and zippers: Secure all closures on the jacket to prevent snagging or tangling during the wash. 
3. Hand wash or use a gentle cycle: It is recommended to hand wash your 509 Heated Jacket or use a gentle cycle on your washing machine. This helps minimize the stress on the heating wires and components. 
4. Use mild detergent: Choose a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as they can damage the jacket's materials. 
5. Hang dry: After washing, hang the jacket to air dry. This method helps maintain the shape and integrity of the jacket. Avoid using a dryer, as the high heat can damage the electrical components. 
6. Do not bleach: Bleaching agents should never be used on your 509 Heated Jacket, as they can cause discoloration and weaken the fabric. 
7. Do not dry clean: Dry cleaning is not recommended for heated jackets, as the chemicals used in the process can be detrimental to the electrical components. 
8. Do not use fabric softeners: Fabric softeners can leave residue on the jacket's surface and potentially interfere with the functionality of the heating elements. Avoid using fabric softeners during the washing process. 
9. Do not iron: Ironing your 509 Heated Jacket is not necessary and should be avoided, as the high heat can damage the electrical components. 

Following these washing instructions will help ensure that your 509 Heated Jacket remains in excellent condition and continues to provide reliable warmth when you need it most.
