How to find the right care products

1. Determine your needs
   Check whether your Ski Wear needs more cleaning or more frequent impregnation - depending on use in deep snow or fresh snow conditions.
2. Check compatibility
   Pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions: Not every product is equally suitable for down and membranes.
3. Select application method
   Choose between powder or liquid detergent and impregnation spray or wash impregnation.
4. Determine the care cycle
   Plan your care according to the length of the season: wash weekly if used frequently, renew impregnation every 1-2 months.
5. Integrate shoe care
   Use disinfectant spray after the tour and, if necessary, gentle drying in winter to reduce bacteria and moisture.

At XSPO, you benefit from a range of high-quality care products that our winter sports professionals have tested themselves for function and compatibility. This keeps your equipment fresh and efficient for longer - so you can concentrate fully on the terrain.
