Take care of your kit so it takes care of you on the bike. Our range will absolutely handle the thrashing you are going to give it but a few simple things will keep your kit at it’s best for longer:
- After use if you’re not washing it immediately hang it out, don’t leave it scrunched up and damp as this will entice mould and bacteria to spread.
- Check your pockets before washing and make sure they are all empty of crumbs, snacks, gels, bank cards, phones, keys and money.
- We recommend washing your kit alone and in a garment bag, inside out with zippers zipped on a delicate cycle. Put items with velcro in a separate bag and make sure the velcro is all done up – velcro snags will ruin your jerseys and bibs. This will prevent stretching, catching, rubbing and damage from zipper teeth to your garments.
- Use a mild detergent sparingly or a speciality cleaning product for technical fabric. No bleach, brightening agents, or fabric softener. You don’t want detergent residue to build up and to ensure your technical high performance fabrics remain at the best.
- Wash on a delicate wash cycle in water max. 35°.
- Air dry only. No tumble drying, ironing or dry-cleaning.
