How to keep your activewear in great shape

Activewear helps you move better, keep dry, and stay warm or cool. However, in order for your gear to perform day after day, proper care must be taken, wash after wash. Here are some useful tips and tricks to help your sportswear go the distance.

Don't keep sweaty clothes in your gym bag for too long in order to prevent unwanted odors.

To minimize color fade and stretching, use a detergent that doesn’t contain bleach or optical brighteners.

Avoid fabric softeners as they ‘clog’ the fine microfibers which damages their moisture wicking ability.

Always read the labels, but generally low temperatures are optimal for maximum protection.

Select a slow, gentle spin speed for delicate items.
