Knee-length merino socks feature graduated compression for maximum winter warmth and comfort. X-rated elastic arch and ankle support prevents slippage. Cushioned heel and toes provide increased pedalling comfort.
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, Earthwiseor 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 repellent finish.
We value your feedback. If you're stoked with your Ground Effect kit then you might like to share it (the review not the gear) with your mates. Thanks again.
the shindigs are the best thing i have purchased. I ride road and MTB super early and it is it getting cold but the shindigs keep me warm as. So many thanks for a great product. I have a few articles from Ground Effect and the quality is great.
Just completed 55.5Km Mudgee Classic on the 1st May.
The 8 am start was freezing. My shindigs were great and stayed up right though the ride. Great product.
Have had these on for a couple of cold / breezy rides. I love how they take the chill off your calfs and lower legs. I used them with some knee warmers and they worked great. When I was getting a little warm, I folded them down in half which worked really well.
I love the long shindings for extending the length of the new length riding pants. They look super stylish with the stripes when pulled up to knee height and when I warm up I can scrunch them down. So good, I had to order a second pair as it’s all I wear now.
