- +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

Merino magic
I own four pairs of these socks and they are the best cycling socks that I have owned. Simply do what they say they do, keep your feet warm and comfortable even on the wettest, soggiest day on either the road or MTB bike. They have lasted brilliantly (the ones that I bought 12 months ago look as good as the ones I bought this season).

No zig zag on quality
Best pair of socks I've ever owned, cycling or otherwise. Really comfortable and warm, slim profile so no cramped toes for the sake of warmth. Thanks GE.

The wife keeps stealing them.....
'Warm in winter, ok for summer, not too thick in cycling shoes, think and warm enough to wear inside work boots and ski boots! I would buy a five pack if you sold them! But they’re not cheap…..hence only 4 stars’
