+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.

      Toasty and comfortable

      A perfect sock for keeping the toes and shins warm on chiily Canberra mornings, the compression is an added bonus!

      Shindigs

      Bought a couple of pair of these and had a couple of winter rides and enjoyed wearing them. My wife and a friend have now found them and so next winter I will have to buy more. My wife and her friend do Tai Chi in cold halls during the winter and found them excellent for keeping the legs warm. Needless to say new ones for Graham next year.

      Nice Surprise

      Wasn't sure about these when I first tried them on, but wow are they warm. Comfortable too. Will probably buy a couple more.
