Men’s Madison Roadrace Superlight Waterproof Softshell Jacket – Madison Clothing Care Guide

General Care We work hard to source durable fabrics so that you can enjoy a long life from our cycling garments. Following the care label instructions found on the garment helps ensure the longest possible life for each of our products. The information on each label is unique to each garment, so please follow that for specific detail.To get the longest possible life from your products, wash them less! Depending on the type of garment will determine how often you need to wash it. For example, when a waterproof jacket has become dirty, where possible we advise using a damp cloth to wipe clean before making the decision to run it through the wash or not. Alternatively, a heavily sweated in polyester baselayer will need a wash after almost every use.The less chemicals and abrasion cycles a garment goes through, the better for the life of the garment and the environment.Waterproof Garments A common misconception with waterproof garments is that they shouldn’t be washed because it destroys the waterproof ability of the garment. This is not true. What is important is that you wash the garment only when required, and with the correct products.Firstly, decide if you need to wash the garment. If it’s covered in trail spray for example, you might be able to get away with cleaning it with a damp cloth. Repeated washing will age your garment, so best to do it only when necessary.Once you’ve decided to wash your garment, it’s really important to use the correct soap. A regular biological soap for example can damage the membrane, meaning your garment would no longer keep water out. Nikwax Tech Wash or Grangers Performance wash are among many good products on the market for the wash cycle.We recommend washing at 30 degrees on a synthetic wash cycle. You can tumble dry on a low setting or line dry.All of our waterproof garments are treated with a Durable Water Repellent finish (DWR) which keeps the outer fabric layer from becoming saturated with water, allowing it to remain breathable. After a few wash cycles or once the water stops beading off the surface, it’s time to re-proof your garment.We recommend using Nikwax TX Direct, Grangers Repel, or similar. There are many other good products on the market.We suggest using a re-proof spray for our 2-layer and 3-layer jackets. This prevents the inner layer of fabric from become water repellent and trapping your sweat from wicking away. You can use a spray-on or wash-in product for 2.5-layer jackets.Softshell Jackets Firstly, decide if you need to wash the garment.
