+More than Kiwi Made
Ground Effect clothing is crafted right here in Aotearoa | New Zealand. Has been ever since we started back in 1994. Manufacturing locally works for us. We operate a quick-response system - holding minimal stock of any one item, but churning out a few more quick-smart when the pile gets low. The upshot is that we are seldom caught with our shelves empty, so orders get despatched the same day you place them.

+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.
 
+ Shipping
  • Items are generally packed and sent the same day your order is received.
  • Costs $9 by overnight courier within New Zealand.
  • NZ$12 by tracked airmail to Australia.
  • Around NZ$15-25 by tracked airmail to destinations elsewhere in the world - calculated in our shipping cart as you check out. 
    • More shipping and tax details in our FAQ.

      Great stuff

      I bought the orange Spook jacket. It’s so light that I’m not conscious of wearing it, except that it shields me so well from the wind. Perfect for a ride that starts out on a cool day. My phone fits in the pocket, but feels heavy on the lightweight fabric. Maybe consider a second pocket (at the back) next time? Otherwise, it’s brilliant.

      Excellent service and a great product

      I ordered the lightweight Spook jacket in the wrong size - twice! GroundEffect made the exchanges easy with no hassle. Delivery was super fast and I love the jacket. Well done guys.

      Spook Jacket

      Great light weight jacket. Fits as normal sizing (didn't find it too small). Nice bright colour so easily seen. Well done guys - another mint product!

      Spook

      I love the quality of this garment. It's a thinner windbreak than I expected, but I can see it being more useful when it's warmer, and the way it packs down to nothing is a bonus. I'd have liked another pocket. Have you ever thought of making a jacket with a soft shell front, and front of arms, but a lighter material on the back and back of the arms? I have a very old Kathmandu biking jacket I'd love to find a replacement for. It's been my go to for years, but sadly has fallen apart. Thanks!
