INDEX / CARE 02
Care protocol
Technical fabric fails from heat and softener long before it fails from use. Four rules keep every piece at spec.
01
Wash
- 01Cold cycle, 30°C maximum, inside out, with like fabrics.
- 02No fabric softener — it coats elastane and kills recovery.
- 03No bleach or optical brighteners on graphite tones.
- 04Zip and fasten shells before the drum.
02
Dry
Line dry flat, out of direct sun. Never tumble dry: heat sets a permanent memory into the knit and shortens compression life by roughly 40%.
03
Store & repair
- 01Fold knits; hanging distorts the waistband over time.
- 02Store shells uncompressed so the membrane keeps its loft.
- 03Seam or zip failure inside two years: we repair or replace.
