Notes
Orange (Lava Orange, colour code 426) Rossignol Rapide ski jacket — a synthetically insulated quilted puffer (Rossignol PolyDown microfibre that mimics down; this is NOT a down jacket). Shell, lining and insulation are all 100% polyester. A 20,000 mm waterproof membrane with critically taped (heat-sealed) seams, a DWR finish and an integrated snow skirt make it a genuine cold-weather, foul-weather mountain layer. The owner's piece is worn with the stand collar, without the removable hood. Size M (EU 48 / FR 50). Care: wash separately, cool, zips closed; dry in the shade; iron max 110 °C.
Care regimens
Synthetics, viscose and technical blends
every ~14 daysA cool, gentle wash with a colour-protecting detergent, little or no drying heat, and pilling shaved off. Synthetics hold odour and dislike heat; viscose weakens when wet — dry flat.
After each wear: air them out, air-dry without high heat, lay viscose flat
Everyday
After each wear and periodically.
- Air after wearing — synthetics hold smell, and airing often does the job instead of a wash.
- Shave pilling off acrylic and polyester knits with a fabric shaver.
- Refresh lightly with steam — keep the steamer moving and not too hot.
Products and tools
What not to do
- Steam only warm and moving — too hot glazes the fibre to a shine and sets odour in.
When dirty
When visibly dirty or holding odour.
- Turn inside out; pre-treat stains with a stain remover.
- Put fine viscose knits and delicates in a mesh wash bag.
- Wash cool (≤30 °C), on a gentle cycle, with a colour-protecting detergent.
- Dry on low or no heat — hang or lay flat, away from the radiator.
Additionally
What not to do
- Viscose (viscose/rayon) weakens when wet and can shrink — handle gently, don't wring, reshape and dry flat.
- No high drying heat — synthetics glaze to a shine or melt, and high heat sets odours in.
Restore
only when needed
When the surface has pilled or the fabric goes static.
- Shave the pilling off with a fabric shaver — it revives the knit's surface.
- For static, air-dry and don't over-dry; add an anti-static step if needed.
Products and tools
What not to do
- Static is a sign of over-drying — hot machine drying makes it worse, so air-dry instead.
