+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.

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

    • NZ$12 by tracked airmail to Australia.

        Love my Lucifers

        These are excellent. I’ve tried them out a few times in frosty ol’ Dunners. They really cut out the wind and genuinely add warmth in my shoes. Great product!

        Seam Rub

        I used these in the sound to sounds on a particularly cold day, they kept my feet warm but the seam on the cuff caused my Achilles tendon to become inflamed. Managed to settle with icing intermittently through the night and strapping the next day. Worth keeping in mind when wearing these.

        Surprising!

        I'll think about a 5th star when I've had more time with these. That said I was surprised and pleased enough initially to order a second pair. Warmer than one would think at first glance!

        Keep you snug

        Excellent intermediate option between ordinary socks and full shoe covers. Kept toes cosy on A2O
