Garment Care

Technical fabrics need specific care to perform well over time. Follow these guidelines and your gear will last seasons.

General

Wash inside out. Reduces friction on prints and outer surfaces.
Wash with similar colours. Cold cycles only — 30°C maximum.
Skip the softener. Fabric softener clogs technical fibres and reduces wicking performance.
Air dry. No tumble drying. Heat damages elastane and performance fabrics.
Don't iron. Heat damages technical prints and bonded seams.

Activewear & tech fabrics

Wash promptly after training — sweat breaks down elastane over time. Use a technical detergent or mild powder detergent. Skip the dryer entirely.

Hoodies & sweats

Heavy cotton loopback can be washed normally on cold. Air dry flat to maintain shape and prevent shrinkage. Spot-clean small marks rather than full washes when possible.

Compression gear

Hand wash or use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Aggressive washing destroys compression fibres faster than anything else.

Outerwear & shells

Wash technical shells separately with a technical detergent. Reapply DWR (durable water repellent) treatment every 12-18 months for waterproof shells.

Wash less when possible Air things out after training instead of washing every time. Hoodies and outerwear rarely need full washes — you'll get years more wear by washing less.
