Everyday care principles

A considered routine protects performance.

Start with the care label on the individual garment, then use a restrained routine that minimizes unnecessary heat, friction, and aggressive cleaning.

01

Read the Label

The sewn-in care instructions should always take priority because fabrics, trims, finishes, and construction can vary by product.

02

Wash With Restraint

Use gentle settings where appropriate, avoid unnecessary over-washing, and separate garments by color and fabric weight.

03

Limit High Heat

Excessive heat can affect stretch, shape, coatings, and fabric feel, so use lower-temperature drying when the garment label allows.

Store With Care

Allow pieces to dry fully before storage and avoid prolonged compression when a garment benefits from maintaining its natural structure.

Extend wear life

Performance essentials

Care changes with the way a product moves.

Stretch-focused layers, training tops, active bottoms, and insulating pieces each benefit from a slightly different care mindset. Always combine these general principles with the specific instructions on your garment.

  • T-Shirts, Tanks & Long Sleeves Turn garments inside out before washing when appropriate and avoid excessive heat that may affect shape, print, or fabric finish.
  • Sports Bras & Compression Shirts Prioritize gentle washing and lower heat to help preserve stretch, support, and recovery characteristics.
  • Shorts, Biker Shorts & Leggings Wash with similar active fabrics and reduce rough contact with zippers, hook-and-loop closures, and heavier garments.
  • Joggers & Trail Pants Empty pockets, close fasteners, remove surface dirt when needed, and follow fabric-specific drying instructions.

Care by category

Keep each layer working as intended.

Use these category notes as a quick reference before checking the individual garment label for the final care direction.

Base layers

T-Shirts & Tanks

Use a gentle routine, separate by color, and avoid leaving damp garments compressed after training.

Coverage layers

Long Sleeves

Wash with similar lightweight pieces and protect cuffs, prints, or performance finishes from unnecessary abrasion.

Support

Sports Bras

Reduce harsh heat and friction to help preserve elasticity, shape, and supportive construction over time.

Compression

Compression Shirts

Use gentle washing, avoid aggressive twisting, and dry according to the garment label to protect stretch recovery.

Warm-weather movement

Shorts & Biker Shorts

Wash after high-intensity use when needed and separate from rough hardware that may pull or abrade performance fabric.

Stretch bottoms

Leggings

Turn inside out where appropriate, keep temperatures moderate, and avoid practices that can unnecessarily stress elastic fibers.

Trail movement

Trail Pants

Brush away loose dirt before washing, empty every pocket, and secure closures before placing the garment in the wash.

Everyday active

Joggers

Maintain fabric softness and structure by using a balanced wash routine and avoiding unnecessary high-temperature drying.

Outerwear & insulation

Protect the layers built for changing conditions.

Rain Jackets, Windbreakers, Softshell Jackets, Hoodies, and Fleece Jackets often include different constructions, surface finishes, linings, and closures. Their garment-specific labels should always guide washing and drying.

Close Before Washing Fasten zippers and secure adjustable components when appropriate to reduce snagging and unnecessary abrasion.
Remove Surface Dirt Brush or wipe away loose dirt before washing so the cleaning cycle can focus on the fabric rather than heavy debris.
Avoid Random Treatments Do not apply waterproofing, stain treatments, or strong chemicals unless they are compatible with the garment instructions.
Dry Completely Ensure outer layers are fully dry before long-term storage, especially after use in rain, humidity, or wet conditions.
Protect Fleece Texture Wash fleece with compatible fabrics and limit unnecessary friction that can affect surface texture over repeated wear.
Preserve Shape Store structured jackets in a way that avoids prolonged crushing, tight folding, or pressure on technical components.

Long-term care

Small habits help preserve everyday performance.

Product care is not only about washing. How a garment is aired out, stored, handled after use, and rotated through an active wardrobe can influence how it looks and feels over time.

01
Air garments after activity Avoid leaving damp performance pieces compressed in bags, vehicles, or closed spaces for extended periods.
02
Clean when care is needed Follow the garment label and avoid washing solely by habit when an item does not require a full cleaning cycle.
03
Separate rough hardware Zippers, hooks, rigid trims, and rough surfaces can cause unnecessary friction against softer stretch fabrics.
04
Address damage early Loose threads, damaged closures, or small areas of wear are easier to manage before they become larger problems.
05
Store fully dry Make sure garments are clean and completely dry before seasonal or extended storage.

Care questions

Clear answers for everyday upkeep.

These general care principles are designed to support product longevity, but the individual garment label should always be followed first.

Always follow the care label attached to the individual product. Materials, finishes, trims, prints, insulation, stretch content, and construction can vary between garments.

Care needs depend on activity intensity, perspiration, weather, fabric, and the garment instructions. Allow damp items to air out and use the care label to determine the appropriate cleaning routine.

Sports Bras, Compression Shirts, Biker Shorts, and Leggings generally benefit from gentle handling and restrained heat. Follow the garment label for exact wash and drying instructions.

Remove loose dirt, secure closures where appropriate, and follow the specific care label. Avoid applying treatments or cleaning products that are not suitable for the garment's materials or finish.

Clean the garment according to its label, allow it to dry completely, empty all pockets, and store it in a clean, dry environment without unnecessary compression.
