WASHING
Many of our styles have bacteria fighting properties which means they should not be washed in hot water and as frequently unless in need. Wash promptly after perspiration. Washing in cold water only with mild detergent, a 30min cycle is all they need.
DRYING
Do not use the dryer. High heat will eventually break down the elasticity and can deteriorate the fabric. Air drying in the shade is best.
BE DELICATE
Our gear is durable for training, but you should still be gentle with it. Turn inside out to protect the branding. Never wash with anything fluffy like towels or fleece as the lint will transfer or encourage pilling. You should also avoid the fabric rubbing on abrasive surfaces.
BE SELECTIVE
Use a gentle detergent and avoid fabric softener. Harsh detergents can damage activewear's performance & softener can degrade sweat wicking properties.

Gen Type™
Built from our lightweight & durable recycled four-way stretch GEN Type™ Fabric. Allowing you to power through with peak performance & durability - supporting your every move. Featuring Ultra-Wick technology & RECycled nylon.
Ultra-Wick™
A moisture-wicking fabric technology which quickly moves sweat to the fabric’s outer surface away from the body through tiny spaces within the fabrics construction. When moisture hits the fabric surface it rapidly spreads and dissipates. Resulting in a more comfortable dry feel and allows the body to regulate its temperature more efficiently.
RECYCLE™
A modern challenge for our generation – to create functional, maximum quality products, while reducing their impact on the environment.
RECycle™ utilizes products diverted from landfill, uses new generation technologies to process them into fibres that are embedded and/or fused with natural and/or virgin fibres to create products with stronger more resilient properties.
