Keep Your Kit in Peak Condition
Your BG cycling apparel is engineered to perform. With the right care, it will look and feel great for many seasons to come. Here are our essential care tips.
Washing
Always wash your cycling kit in cold water (30°C or below) on a gentle cycle. Turn jerseys inside out to protect the graphics and colours. Use a mild detergent — avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the moisture-wicking fibres.
Wash your kit as soon as possible after riding. Leaving sweat to dry on the fabric can cause odour build-up and degrade the fibres over time.
Drying
Never tumble dry your cycling kit. The heat can damage the elastic fibres and reduce the garment's stretch. Instead, hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Storage
Store your kit flat or neatly folded in a drawer. Avoid hanging jerseys on hangers for extended periods as this can stretch the shoulders. Keep your chamois cream away from your bib shorts fabric to prevent staining.
