How to clean your clothing

Before washing your garment, it is important to ensure that all zippers are fully closed and that all Velcro are fastened. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in significant damage that is not covered by our warranty. Please follow these tips carefully to preserve the appearance and properties of your Avalanche garment :

  • Do not dry clean.
  • Wash colors separately.
  • Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle (30 degrees Celsius).
  • Do not use fabric softener.
  • Do not pile damp clothes (to avoid colour migration).

N.B. for down garments, follow the same steps, but tumble dry at medium temperature with tennis balls (65 degrees Celsius) until the jacket is dry and no more moisture is present.

It is crucial not to wash natural and synthetic furs in the machine and especially not to put them in the dryer. Natural fur can only be dry cleaned and synthetic fur can only be cleaned by hand with a mild soap.

What is the warranty period?

Avalanche takes the greatest care in the design and manufacture of its products. We guarantee our products against manufacturing defects on seams, snaps and zippers for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage caused by improper use, improper maintenance, accident, or normal wear and tear of the operating equipment.
Note: This warranty does not cover accessories (socks, gloves, mitts, etc.) or final sale items. If a product proves to be defective, please contact us for the detailed procedure.

What you need to know about repairs

At present, please note that the repair time is 4 weeks. Please, any coat or garment that needs to be repaired by our sewing service, must have been washed beforehand. A 25$ cleaning fee will be added to your repair bill in the event that washing is required prior to the repair.
Thank you for your understanding.
