- +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 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.
- 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 colours separately.

Foot Soldiers for the Bike Warrior
The socks feel great - not too thin, not too bulky, just right. Bought these to update some GE socks I picked up in 1999. Not great for your business model but wow do these bad boys last and last. Top notch product every time, always!

Great Socks - Foot Soldiers
I wear my Foot Soldiers most days, very comfortable around the house and on the bike. The first pair were so good that I brought another pair and will do so as they wear. Easy to look after, easy to dry and yet to show any signs of wear.

Top sock
A great sock for the in between season. It's when you can still feel your toes, but they aren't burning from the power. Fits well and gets the job done.
