Always wash your garment by hand, or at the very most, inside a protective laundry bag on a delicate wash. An intense wash may cause abrasions to the fabric. For all performance garments containing lycra, ideally, a sportswear-specific detergent is used at a quarter of the recommended amount per load on the carton/bottle. Do not soak the garment in detergent, as this may result in residue build-up causing the material to break down.

Always use cold water for washing. The temperature of the water needs to be lower than 30 degrees, with a laundry detergent that does not contain any harsh chemicals, bleach or softeners. Ideally, a sportswear-specific detergent. Hot water or the use of softeners will cause the colour to run and the chamois adhesive or the lycra to break down.

Always hang dry your garment in a well-ventilated area. Air temperature should not exceed 26 degrees. Use of tumble dry or storage in hot and humid environments will cause damage to the fabric structure and colour fading.

After each ride, hang the garments in a well-ventilated environment or wash them immediately. Do not hang the garments in direct sunlight, as this will accelerate the degradation of the elastic fibres in your garments. Never store damp clothes in a non-ventilated environment (e.g. plastic bags, sport bag, suitcase, etc.).
