Garments Care

Eliminate all mud traces and thick deposits with cold water, if the garments are still moist, or brush softly the mud away. Empty the pockets ( in case there are gel small gel bags or other objects).

All garments must be washed turned upside down, to mantain colours vivacity and prolong the weaves lives. In this way, it is avoided that the garments outer surfaces snag among each other, the strings get drawn and colours get transferred.

Make sure everything is locked properly: zippers, buttons, velcrum About this, garments with hoop and loop fasteners, such as gloves and overshoes, must be washed separately from garments garments with a high composition of lycra, such a cycling shorts with braces to avoid any weave damage

The softer a garmen is, the more delicate it is. Try to avoid frictions with bands and abrasive materials. Although a slight abrasion is unavoidable, the funcionality will not be compromised.

The mechanical stress the garment has to bear depends on the customer's use, therefore there is no guarantee.

The liquid detergents are far easier than the ones in powder to wash sporty garments and are more effective at lower temperatures Your Biotex product weave might have been treated in particular way to be endowed with features of higer breathability, hygiene, isolation, sunshine protection and waterproofness.

The washing with powdered detergents may damage these tratments and cause the garment discoloration, therefore it is preferrable to use liquid ones, if possible.

It is advised to do more washings with little detergent, rathen than few with more detergent: water does not damage, detergent (sometimes) does

For an optimal washing, it is advised to wash sporty garments separately from other garments, putting in an apposite bag.

The washing with the washing machine is allowed, but it is essential to keep the water temperature below 40°C with a delicate cycle (30°C for windproof garments cod.

180-129-130). The washig with cold water reduces the risk garments tighten, colours bleach or membranes get damaged. Do not press or squeeze. Do not put them on radiators or other heat sources.

We recommend right after the use of a garment to soak it in cold water with bicarbonate, to favour the removal of perspiration odour from synthetical garments.

It is recommended to avoid softeners use ( it inhibits the breathability)

Do not use products for bleaching or colourants

Do not put them on radiators or other heat sources.

UV rays (sun rays) can cause drop of fluo colours intensity (for example neon yellow).

This process is natural and doesn't represent any product manufacturing defect.

Wash garments made of merino wool in washing machine with cold water. Dry them at air.

Some garments are endowed with a special layer made of Teflon, that repels water, rain or sweat therefore it improves hydrodynamics.

This treatment wears out with the use, but it is possible to restore partially its functionality thanks to heat (for example with drying or ironing at low temperature).

Washing instructions for BIOTEX pads:

• Wash the protection right after the use
• Wash with hands or washing machine with a program at 30° C
• Do not use aggressive detergents, use only neutral ones.
• It is recommended, to avoid garments washing with softeners, they may reduce foam lift
• It is recommended no to mix dark coloured and light coloured in the washing
• It is recommended to wash the clothes immediately to avoid changes due to perspiration
• It is not recommended dry Biotex garments with dryer at high temperatures and for long time not to cause any damage to the garments

Biotex garments do not love high temperatures.

Generally they are made of weaves that, after being washed, do not need ironing. If you feel like ironing them, remember to never put iron lukewarm part in direct contact with the weave, take a soft volth and put it between the iron the garment.

But if the label says not to "iron" don't do it!
