waterproof warranty and care



WATERPROOF WARRANTY

Our lifetime warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials for the lifetime of the product, however it does not cover normal wear that accumulates over time.

The lifetime warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, improper care, inappropriate use, negligence, normal wear and tear, or the natural breakdown of materials, coatings and colors over extended time and use.

 


KHOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR RAINWEAR

Rainwear using impregnation agents that are completely free from PFC are better for the environment as no fluorocarbons are released into nature. Those substances cannot break down and instead accumulate in organisms, affecting plants, animals, and humans alike. By choosing garments free from fluorocarbons/PFC, you are making an active choice to protect nature from these harmful substances. All our waterproofs manufactured today are PFC-free. Since you are choosing garments with biodegradable impregnation, you will need to re-impregnate your rainwear from time to time to maintain its high level of waterproofing and water-repellent function.  

 

After use 

  • Shake off and hang your rainwear properly spread out each time it gets wet, allowing it to dry thoroughly.  
  • If your rainwear gets visibly dirty, such as at the bottom of the trousers, wipe off the dirt with a damp cloth.  
  • Between golf rounds, rainwear is best stored hanging on a hanger rather than folded in a drawer or stuffed into a golf bag.

Washing

When clothes get dirty, the fabric’s pores (on both the inside and outside) become clogged, reducing properties such as breathability. It is therefore important to wash your rainwear regularly—especially since breathability is one of the key features that ensure comfort on the golf course. Washing and drying your rainwear correctly can also help reactivate the impregnation treatment. 
How to wash your rainwear: 

  • Use a liquid detergent designed for functional garments. Do not use powdered detergent! 
  • Wash at a maximum of 30°C on a program with low spin speed.
  • Avoid fabric softener, as it wears down the fabric and leaves a coating that reduces functionality. 
  • If your washing machine has a sportswear program, use it to ensure that no fabric softener residue remains in the system. Otherwise, wipe out the detergent compartment before washing. 
  • Before placing the garment in the machine, smooth it out so it is not crumpled or folded, and loosen any drawstrings at the neck or waist to ensure thorough cleaning. 
  • Close all Velcro fastenings and zippers to prevent unnecessary wear on the fabric. 

 

Re-Impregnation 

If you have washed and dried your rainwear regularly but notice that water no longer beads up and rolls off the outer fabric, it’s time to re-impregnate. This will maximize the garment’s performance and lifespan. 
When water soaks into the fabric, it is stopped by the waterproof membrane. However, if the outer fabric becomes saturated with moisture, breathability can be compromised, making the garment feel heavy and cold. It may even feel damp inside, as body moisture is unable to escape, leaving you wet from the inside. 

How to re-impregnate your rainwear:

  • The garment must be clean before re-impregnation, or else dirt and grease will get sealed in, reducing functionality. First, wash the garment following the instructions above and leave it in the washing machine. 
  • Wipe out the detergent compartment to remove any residue. 
  • Shake the bottle of re-impregnation agent well. We recommend using a biodegradable wash-in textile waterproofing treatment. This restores the outer fabric’s water-repellent function, optimizing breathability—one of the most important features in rainwear for active sports like golf. 
  • Dose the impregnation agent in the detergent compartment according to the instructions on the bottle, but never re-impregnate more than three garments at a time.
  • Run a short wash cycle and dry the garment immediately afterward. 

 

Drying
 
Whether you have only washed or also re-impregnated your rainwear, you will achieve the best results by drying it in a tumble dryer or drying cabinet. Heat helps seal or reactivate the impregnation. However, always use a low-temperature setting to protect delicate details on the garment. If you do not have access to a drying cabinet or tumble dryer, let the garment air dry in the warmest indoor location possible.  

 

 

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE FUNCTION OF PITCH 37.5 FABRIC

Please let us explain the advantage with 37.5 membrane in our Pitch styles;
1- We use a water repellent treatment that is ECO-friendly that at the same time has
high functionality. This means that when rain hits the surface of Pitch 37.5 it will stay
outside for a while. After some time or after more heavy rain- water will go through into
the fabric and there the 37.5 membrane stops the water from coming inside the jacket.
2- Now the water is contained in the structure of 37.5 and will to some extent create
small dimples or patches that is visible on the outside material.
3- The breathability function now kicks in from Your bodyheat and starts the ”engine”
of membrane and will very quickly transport the water out again - the fabric becomes dry
and flat.
4- This effect will be the same if You sweat a lot on a warm day; moist will be captured
in the membrane- creating dimples on outside- but will quickly dry again.
5- The visible structures on the outside fabric is proof of that the membrane is working
just in the way it is supposed to. The very high performance of breathability is the
advantage.
Following here some examples of how it could look after rain on the outer material:
