+Tech

+Hot Shot™ Merino

4-way stretch winter luxury uniquely combines superfine merino against your skin with a tightly knitted, hardwearing nylon outer and lycra to stretch and move with your body. Warm as pie.

• Composition: 28% merino; 44% nylon; 28% lycra.

+WindFoil™

WindFoil™ combines the insulative benefits of a polyester micro-fleece liner with a smooth, water resistant, softshell exterior. A totally windproof, yet highly breathable membrane is sandwiched between the inner and outer fabrics providing effective protection in cold, dry conditions.

• Composition: 100% polyester with PU membrane.
• 100% windproof.
• Water repellent finish on face fabric.
• Breathability: 4000gm per sq.m per 24hr.

+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 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.
• 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.
