+Washing

  • All Ground Effect clothing enjoys a warm 40ºC machine wash.
    • As a rule of thumb, a laundry product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Select a mild plant-based soap like  Ecostore,Earthwise orAware.
    • Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
    • Avoid cold-water detergents and those with bleach, 'oxygen whitener' or fabric softener.
      • The cold-water varieties have little enzymes that are super-charged to brave the cold but can damage technical fabrics and cause skin irritation.
      • Bleach rots natural fibres like merino, strips the dye, attacks laminates of waterproof fabrics and can also cause skin irritation.
      • Sodium Percarbonate (the main ingredient in oxygen whitener) can make colours run.
      • Fabric softener and wool wash destroy the water repellent finish on waterproof fabrics, and can also cause colours to run.
    • Most Ground Effect gear dries super-fast, so hanging on the line or draped over the bedpost is generally the best option.
      • High heat can damage some fabrics so if you do take your threads for a spin in the dryer, set the device on 'medium' or 'warm' rather than hot.
      • A dryer is recommended for your rain jacket or pants, as it helps recharge the water repellant treatment on the outside of the fabric.

    • Wash your gloves separately - the synthetic suede can cause havoc staining other clothing.
    • Air dry only - no dryers for these puppies.

    + Shipping
    • Items are generally packed and sent the same day your order is received.

        High FIves spot on

        I've owned a number of pairs of these gloves. They suit the different types of riding I do - both road and trail. I find the large size a little too small for my hands but they do stretch over time. As with all other GroundEffect gear they are well made and long lasting.

        Second pair

        Previous version of the High Fives were better; a tighter fit. This version is a slightly looser fit in the finger width. This is my second pair of this version of High Fives. It's a quality glove and IMO, better than what is typically stocked at a number of LBS in my city.

        High Fives

        Once again great service and products from Ground effects. Ordered one day, arrived the next. After the very cold days last week my old gloves failed to keep the fingers warm. They were from Ground Effect but about 20 years old, so they had given good service. The new gloves were prefect in fit and warmth. I had brought 2 pair, one for winter, one for summer. The high fives will be great for summer riding. Keep on providing great gear for the pedal pushers.

        High fives

        I've got multiple pairs of High Fives now some that are 5 - 6 years old and starting g to get a bit holy. Like all Ground Effect clothing if you want something that's going last for years with hard use then try these.
