    Whites MK3 undergarment care...

    My LDS that sold me my Fusion w/MK3, told me I wasnt supposed to tumble the mk3 undergarment, and that tumbling bunches up the insulation material.

    Lookin on Primalofts website, they say nothign about not tumble drying the primaloft, and that in fact theirs doesnt bunch up.

    Now I just air tumble dry mine, but does anyone have the definitive word on tumble drying these?

    thx

    I'd have to go read the label, but I thought it said you could put it in the dryer. I have certainly done that with mine more times than I can count, and I've never noticed any bunching of the material or the filling.

    Don't know about the synthetics, but you can tumble dry (no heat) down sleeping bags and jackets with a couple of clean tennis balls to break up any insulation clumping.

    My MK3 shows a dryer with an X through it, and a tag that says hang to dry.
