I am very nervous about washing this jacket. Can anyone tell me the best way to wash and dry? It states to use tennis balls when drying but how many and where do you put them?
Thanks

I've had this jacket for 4yrs now and it holds up well to washing. I have a front loading washer/dryer, so that helps a touch as to keeping it from being beat up. When I wash it, I use the nikwax down wash on the hand wash cycle that uses a gentle spin. I lay it flat to mostly dry and then throw it in the dryer on an air fluff setting for the final drying. Put a single clean tennis ball in the dryer on the air fluff cycle to revitalize the loft of the jacket.
