Storage
Store garments clean and completely dry. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
Before You Wash
- Turn garments inside out to protect the outer surface, prints, logos, embroidery, and decorative details.
- Wash with similar colors only.
- Empty all pockets before washing.
- Close zippers, buttons, hooks, and fastenings.
- Remove detachable pads or accessories when applicable.
- Use a laundry bag for delicate pieces to help protect the garment during washing.
Washing
- Machine wash cold, or follow the temperature shown on the care label.
- Use a mild detergent.
- Choose a gentle cycle when possible.
- Hand washing is recommended for delicate fabrics and special details.
- Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Avoid fabric softeners on performance fabrics, as they may affect breathability and moisture-wicking performance.
Drying
- Air dry naturally whenever possible.
- Dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to help protect color.
- If tumble drying is allowed on the care label, use low heat only.
- Do not leave damp garments packed or folded for long periods.
Ironing
- Iron inside out when needed.
- Use low to medium heat.
- Do not iron directly over prints, graphics, logos, reflective details, embroidery, or embellishments.

Hand Washing

- Reshape the garment before drying.
- Lay flat or hang carefully depending on the fabric type.
Storage Tips
- Store garments clean and fully dry.
- Keep them in a cool, dry place.
- Fold heavy stretch fabrics instead of hanging them for long periods.
- Store sensitive pieces in a breathable cotton garment bag, not plastic.
Stain Care
- Treat stains as soon as possible.
- Avoid rubbing aggressively, as this may damage the fabric surface.
- Test stain removers on a hidden area first.
- Do not use bleach unless the care label clearly allows it.
