Care Guide
Keep your activewear looking and performing like new with these essential washing and care tips.
How to care for activewear: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Turn garments inside out. Never use fabric softener or bleach, as they destroy moisture-wicking properties and elastane. Air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting.
Protecting Your Investment
Premium activewear requires specific care to maintain its elasticity, color, and technical properties.
The Danger of Fabric Softeners
Fabric softeners work by coating fibers in a waxy residue to make them feel soft. On synthetic activewear, this wax clogs the microscopic moisture-wicking channels, completely ruining the garment's ability to handle sweat. It also traps odors.
Washing Best Practices
- Wash activewear separately from heavy items like jeans or towels with zippers that can cause snags.
- Use a sports-specific detergent designed to break down body oils and sweat trapped in synthetic fibers.
- Avoid high heat at all costs. Hot water and hot dryers will melt the elastane fibers, causing your gear to permanently lose its stretch and shape.
