+Washing

  • All Ground Effect clothing enjoys a warm 40ºC machine wash. Try to 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 stuff containing it like wool wash destroys the water repellent finish on waterproof and water resistant fabrics, and can cause colours to run.
  • As a rule of thumb, a product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Select a mild plant-based soap like Ecostore, Earthwise or Aware.
  • Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
  • Most Ground Effect gear dries super-fast so hanging on the line or drooping over the bedpost is generally the best option. High heat can damage some fabrics so if you do take your threads for a spin, set the device on 'medium' or 'warm' rather than hot. A lap in the dryer is recommended for your rain jacket, after it has dried on the line, as it helps recharge its water repellant finish.

  • 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.
  • Costs $9 by overnight courier within New Zealand.
  • NZ$12 by tracked airmail to Australia.
  • Around NZ$15-25 by tracked airmail to destinations elsewhere in the world - calculated in our shipping cart as you check out. 
    • More shipping and tax details in our FAQ.

      Not as warm as I was hoping

      I’d read all the reviews before buying these and was very keen to try them for the first time. I get very cold hands & feet, & suffer from Raynaurds. Unfortunately my hands were cold at the beginning of the ride. I also found the position of the seams on the thumb’s especially exacerbated the cold. We had 2 sizes in the house with the medium being too small across the palm. I found that the large was only marginally bigger, so I’m not able to comfortably fit a liner inside the gloves. I usually really rate Ground Effect gear, but this time I’m very disappointed.

      Chipolatas off to Tasmania

      bought these for our upcoming Cycling in Tasmania. Confident that they will do the trick nicely.

      No more cold hands in the morning

      Love these gloves which are just perfect for the morning cycle into work, no more multilayering with other gloves, just this pair is enough.

      Great Commuter gloves

      These gloves are awesome on a frosty Hawkes Bay morning, perfect paired with my Draft Dodger jacket. Very happy with the fast shipping too.
