Step 2 Tell us about your item

These details let us confirm the right process before you arrive. Everything is checked again with you at drop-off.

Please choose the type of item you are booking in.

Please tell us the main problem or treatment required.

A preference, not a confirmed appointment — we confirm the time with you before you visit.

Please choose a preferred drop-off date.

Helpful but not required — we go through the item with you at check-in and record its condition together.

After you book, bring your item to The Gear Spa with your order number. We check it in with you, record its condition, and treatment begins once it has been assessed and accepted.

We work with reasonable care and skill, but cleaning cannot guarantee that every stain or odour will be removed, and existing wear can become more visible. We record your item's condition with you at check-in and explain any specific risks before we begin.

What’s included

  • A controlled, fabric-specific wash matched to insulated ski jackets, lifting out the dirt, sweat and oils that reduce loft and thermal efficiency.
  • Professional drying with down and synthetic fill re-lofted to restore volume and warmth where the fill is undamaged.
  • Care taken to prevent clumping and fill migration, and to protect lightweight shell materials.
  • Optional Added Sterilisation Treatment (+GBP10): a dry sanitising and deodorising stage that targets and reduces odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould.

Suitable for

  • Down-insulated ski and snowboard jackets
  • Synthetic-insulated ski and snowboard jackets
  • Insulated winter shells that have lost loft or warmth
  • Ski jackets holding sweat, dirt or body oils
  • 3-in-1 and technical insulated outerwear

Not suitable for

  • Jackets with irreparable tears, failed seams or damaged baffles that cleaning cannot restore
  • Items too heavily soiled or contaminated for us to accept safely
  • Uninsulated waterproof shells whose main need is reproofing rather than an insulated wash

The specialist process

Every insulated ski jacket is cleaned using a process matched to its fill and shell construction rather than a standard laundry cycle. We remove the dirt, sweat and body oils that flatten insulation and dull thermal performance, working gently to keep baffles intact and fill evenly distributed.

The jacket is then thoroughly dried and, where the down or synthetic fill is undamaged, re-lofted to bring back volume and warmth, returning insulation performance and overall garment feel closer to like new.

Do you clean both down and synthetic insulated jackets? p>Yes. The wash is designed for both down and synthetic insulated ski jackets, with the process adjusted to suit the fill and shell of each garment./p>

Will the wash restore the loft of my jacket? p>Where the fill is undamaged, down and synthetic insulation is professionally re-lofted during drying to restore volume and warmth. Loft cannot be recovered from fill that has already broken down./p>

What does the Added Sterilisation Treatment include? p>For an extra GBP10 we add a dry sanitising and deodorising stage that targets and reduces odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould at the source, useful for jackets holding onto smells after heavy use./p>
