I had a white jacket last year so it would get dirty easy and I would just wash it like normal but let it air dry cause the dryer can mess up the elastic. It should have washing instructions on it.

just throw it in the wash follow the shit thats on the tag if there is any and just add some waterproofing agent, you can usually buy it at any ski or outdoor shop...pretty easy nothing complicated.

if you would like your jacket to be waterproof, do NOT just throw it in the wash, detergent RUINS the waterproof!!!

Go to your ski shop and get tech wash, and re-waterproofer. You'll need to do 2 washes in the machine.

Or, if its dirty in certain areas only, use a brush and tech wash, and then re-waterproof.
