We want you to get the longest possible service life out of your new riding kit – If you knew how much work we put into getting the perfect cut and the best possible high-performance materials you would be pedantic as well.
- If you want your special kit to last as long as possible – do the following WASH YOUR CYCLING KIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER RIDING – sweat can be corrosive and break down the high elastic content in the material – The sooner the material is purged of the sweat the longer it will last.
- Washing – You can hand wash – but we recommend cold to medium water temperature 30ºC degrees maximum. Machine wash on a delicate cycle with the cycling kit placed in a delicate’s bag or wash the cycle clothing by itself. Turn the clothing inside-out, seams on the outside and zip up the Jersey fully. Use of a delicate liquid detergent is best. Use something that is specified as gentle – “Wool Mix” is a good gentle detergent to use. Also don’t put the detergent directly on the clothing. Once Clothing has gone through the delicate wash cycle remove the bicycle clothing from washing machine. DON’T LEAVE WET IN THE MACHINE – It is also best not to select spin cycle it can be aggressive. Machine washing is best because it will do the wash cycle each time in a controlled gentle way when selecting the correct DELICATE CYCLE. Do not use fabric softeners.
- Drying – Sun/UV is hard on everything – high elastic materials can suffer a bit more than other materials so don’t put them on the line to dry outside – also don’t put them into an electric dryer as the high heat can also weaken the elastic content of the material. Hang inside or in the shade out of the sun to drip dry. NEVER PUT IN THE TUMBLE DRYER
Please note: Cheap, low-quality powdered detergents can cause discoloration of garments as detergent will often not be sufficiently dissolved prior to contact with fabrics. Damage of this nature will not be covered under warranty.
