Caring for and Cleaning Your Arrowhead Equipment Quilts

Taking care of your Arrowhead Equipment Top Quilts and Underquilts is simple—and proper maintenance ensures they perform for years to come in the backcountry.

🧼 Regular Cleaning & Maintenance
We use high-quality DWR-treated (Durable Water Repellent) fabrics that naturally resist dust, dirt, and moisture. Most debris will shake off easily.
For light cleaning:

• Use a spray bottle of clean water
• Wipe down the quilt with a paper towel or soft cloth
• This will remove surface-level dirt from both top quilts and underquilts

For more thorough cleaning, we recommend:

• Nikwax Tech Wash (safe for synthetic insulation and DWR finishes)
• Always follow the directions on the bottle
• Be sure to completely air dry the quilt before packing or storing

🌬️ Post-Trip Drying
After every trip, hang your quilts to air out for at least 24–48 hours. This ensures moisture doesn’t build up in the insulation and helps maintain long-term performance.

🧺 Long-Term Storage
Avoid keeping your quilt compressed for long periods. Like a spring under pressure, insulation that stays compressed will lose its loft and warmth over time.
For best storage:

• Let your quilt loft fully before storing
• Use a large breathable storage sack, pillowcase, or hang it loosely in a closet
• Avoid tight stuff sacks or dry bags for long-term use

This applies to all insulation types, including Climashield™ APEX, used in our quilts for its reliable performance and fast drying.
