Care Guide
Easy washing and storage guidelines to extend the lifespan of your activewear.
Washing Guidelines
To keep your garments in top condition and protect their specialized performance fabrics, follow these guidelines:
- Wash Inside-Out: Always turn shirts, tees, and hoodies inside-out to protect prints and face textures.
- Delicate / Cold Water: Machine wash cold (below 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Hot water can break down synthetic elastane fibers.
- Mild Detergent Only: Use liquid detergents without dyes or scents. Avoid powdered detergents which can leave pore-clogging residues.
- No Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners coat technical mesh fibers with waxy films, destroying their active breathability and moisture-wicking qualities.
Drying & Storage
Thermal stress from commercial dryers is the leading cause of garment degradation. We recommend:
- Line / Flat Dry: Hang garments to dry or lay flat in shaded areas. Shaded drying prevents color fading and UV fabric damage.
- No Tumble Dry: Tumble dry heat can shrink combed cotton and warp high-tensile elastic fabrics.
- Low Temp Ironing: If necessary, iron on the lowest setting. Never iron directly over screen-printed graphics or synthetic panels.
Material-Specific Care Tips
TECH-WEAVE NYLON
Spot clean surface dirt with a damp micro-fiber cloth. Reapply aftermarket DWR spray after every 15 washes to maintain high water repellency.
THERMO-MESH MATRIX
Wash inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging against zippers or velcro from other garments during rotation cycles.
KINETIC ELASTANE
Store folded rather than hung on thin wire hangers. Heavy hanging can stretch out shoulders and sleeves over extended periods.
