PRODUCT CARE
To get the most out of your cycling kit and help it perform at its best for longer, we've put
together some general advice on how to wash and store your cycling apparel.
Tips & Tricks
Here are some tips to help your garments last longer:
-
Sort your clothing by color and fabric.

Use a sponge and warm water to wipe off heavy dirt, such as mud, before washing. This helps prevent damage to the fabric in the wash.

If you use a washing machine or tumble dryer, choose a low-heat or delicate program.
-
Close all zippers and hook-and-loop (Velcro) pockets before washing.
-
Turn the garment inside out.

Don't use fabric softener or bleach.
-
Use a good-quality liquid detergent.
-
Don't leave your clothing to soak in soapy water.
-
Don't iron your clothing.
