- 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.

Service and Reliability
I have always found Ground Effect great to deal with - goods ordered via email have been dispatched immediately and on the odd occasion I have had to change an item due to ill fitting its been without fuss and without delay. Cannot fault the servise and the quality of goods purchased. Really appreciate what you guys are putting back into the community by way of financial support and track working bees - keep up the good work Rgs Trevor

Quickdraws save the day
I recently purchased a pair of these for my wife to do her spin classes, after extolling the virtues of the quality and longevity of your products. After a handful of sessions, I am pleased to report a smiley face emoticon.

Good gloves
The quickdraws keep the sun off the back of my hands and the no-Velcro means they don't stick to other clothes in the washing machine.

OK. A roadies glove.
Overall, these are OK. They don't seem as hardy as mtb gloves should be, and are made of stretchy material (on top of the hand) which is more at home on a road cycling glove. I am a 'large', and although the top of the glove fits very well (on top of the hand), the paw (the bit against the handle bar) feels ill-fitted. So they feel a bit strange. The 'hinge' or gap in the sponge on the paw is just where there should be maximum grip on the handle bars, so they distort a bit under load. The thumb doesn't cover your entire thumb, just up to the knuckle. I quite liked the covered thumb of the old design, for days when your metal gear shifter levers are cold. For the price, they're good, but for those looking for a hardy glove that'll last you years at 'old school ground effect quality levels: look elsewhere.

Hi Grant. Thanks for your comments. We've gone down the path of lighter and more fitted gloves due to demand, but rest assured we'll take your comments on board. Ernie
