+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.

+Shipping
  • Items are generally packed and sent the same day your order is received.

    • More shipping and tax details in our FAQ.

      Warm Shindigs

      Not a fashion statement but sure keep legs warm on very chilly early rides. Good value!

      These are good, long cycling socks. But they’re bloody brilliant ski socks!

      Shindigs. Buy 'em.

      Just buy them. At $29, admittedly discounted, it's a no brainer. Just buy 'em.

      Looove my new socks

      Admittedly I haven’t biked in them yet but keeping my feet warm in the office. They stay up well. Have good elasticity. Like that they have their size stitched in on the inner band (son has same in different size). Recommend them!
