Washing and Care Instructions

CARE AND ATTENTION IS REQUIRED WHEN WASHING YOUR HIGH PERFORMANCE GARMENTS

Following our recommended guidelines will help avoid potential problems with damaging the technical European fabrics used in our products and prolong the life of your FORTE Sportswear performance garments.

PLEASE NOTE: Anti-perspirants, deodorants and sunscreens break down technical fabrics and sublimated garments.   Staining may occur in the underarm area or other areas that come in contact with the chemicals used in these products.  It is highly recommended to wash your garments as soon as possible after use to help to avoid potential issues.

PREP ITEMS FOR THE WASH

  1.  Turn shorts and bib shorts inside out and as necessary apply a prewash stain remover or detergent to the chamois allowing it to soak in to help remove stains and odors.
  2.  We recommend placing your bib shorts in a small mesh bag to help avoid stretching the bib upper or damaging the seams or materials.
  3.  Close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners.
  4.  Turn screenprinted and sublimated garments inside out to protect the graphics.
