Introduction
The following laundering instructions detail Patagonia's recommendations on how to reduce Synchilla® fiber shedding.
The owner of the Synchilla® product should have access to a standard-sized washing machine and dryer.
Note: It is important that the Synchilla® product be washed and dried alone to allow for maximum tumbling to occur.
