- +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 colours separately.

Great Socks.
My Hoopla socks are perfect. Snug fit without being too tight. They fit perfectly in my cycling shoes [and work shoes] and they stay up!!

One very happy wife
Bought a pair of these for my other half and she has since commented that these were the best shorts she has ever worn when cycling.

Hoopla's
These socks are great! Good colour, good fit, styley and soooo comfy. Haven't worn them long enough to wear them out yet; that's a good sign! These Hoopla's are lasting well for the popular pounding they are being given. They make great gifts for all those menfolk in the family. Geraldine.
