+Washing

  • All Ground Effect clothing enjoys a warm 40ºC machine wash.
    • As a rule of thumb, a laundry product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Select a mild plant-based soap like  Ecostore,Earthwise orAware.
    • Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
    • 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 wool wash destroy the water repellent finish on waterproof fabrics, and can also cause colours to run.
    • Most Ground Effect gear dries super-fast, so hanging on the line or draped over the bedpost is generally the best option.
      • High heat can damage some fabrics so if you do take your threads for a spin in the dryer, set the device on 'medium' or 'warm' rather than hot.
      • A dryer is recommended for your rain jacket or pants, as it helps recharge the water repellant treatment on the outside of the fabric.

    • Wash colours separately.

    +Shipping

        Great little sox

        I've been wearing these for at least 10 years now, the design is minimalist but they provide padding wear it is needed. Occasionally they've been known to sneak into a street shoe !

        Favourite socks

        These are my favourite socks, for wearing with my favourite shoes (Merrell Barrado) - a great combo for riding and walking. They stay in place but don't advertise themselves. And they are very sturdy.

        Well received Christmas gift

        Granddaughter likes the style, found them firm on her feet, and very warm. Not sure there will much cycling with just general use.

        Great quality

        He doesn't have them yet! Christmas present! But I'm the one who does all the sock washing and these are PERFECT.
