Start with what the catalog confirms
The Acodo Insulated Hooded Jacket is built for everyday warmth with an insulated shell and an adjustable hood. Before you clean it, check the care label sewn into your jacket—that label is the authoritative source for washing and drying instructions. The catalog information for this jacket does not list specific care steps, so the guidance below focuses on general best practices for synthetic insulated jackets and on what you can verify from the product details.
Because the Acodo is offered in sizes S through XXXL and in two colorways—Indigo/Juniper and Cotopaxi Black—you may want to note the color and size on your label when you record care details for future reference.

How to wash an insulated hooded jacket
These steps are general recommendations for synthetic insulated jackets. Always defer to the care label on your specific Acodo jacket.
- 1. Check the care label: Read the sewn-in label for washing and drying instructions. If it conflicts with this guide, follow the label.
- 2. Empty pockets and secure closures: Remove items from pockets, close zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners, and loosen hood adjustments to prevent snags.
- 3. Spot clean small marks first: Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to treat small stains. Rinse thoroughly and let air dry before washing the whole jacket.
- 4. Wash gently: Use a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softener, which can coat insulation.
- 5. Rinse thoroughly: Make sure all detergent is removed; residue can attract dirt and reduce performance.
- 6. Dry with care: Tumble dry on low with clean dryer balls to help restore loft, or air dry flat. Avoid high heat, which can damage synthetic insulation.
Insulated hooded jacket maintenance tips
- Wash less often: Spot clean when possible. Frequent washing can wear down insulation and fabric over time.
- Use the right detergent: Choose a mild, residue-free detergent designed for technical fabrics. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
- Store loosely: Hang or fold loosely in a dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods, which can reduce loft.
- Check for wear: Inspect seams, zippers, and the hood adjustment regularly. Repair small issues before they grow.
What to do when the label is unclear
If the care label is missing or unreadable, treat the jacket conservatively: spot clean, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, and air dry flat. Avoid machine drying if you are unsure. For specific care questions, contact Cotopaxi customer service for guidance.
