Product Care
Care for
the rotation.
A simple care approach for activewear, functional layers and everyday movement pieces designed to stay part of your routine.
Care starts simply
Treat performance clothing like part of your everyday system.
Good care is less about complicated routines and more about consistent habits. Gentle washing, lower heat, thoughtful drying and proper storage can help preserve the look and feel of the active pieces you reach for most often.
Always follow the care label attached to the individual garment first. Product-specific instructions should take priority over general guidance.
The everyday routine
Four habits that keep care uncomplicated.
A consistent routine can make caring for workout tops, leggings, joggers, hoodies and active accessories much easier.
Separate thoughtfully
Group similar colors and avoid mixing activewear with rough items that may create unnecessary friction during washing.
Turn pieces inside out
Closing zippers and turning garments inside out can help protect exterior surfaces and printed or detailed areas.
Choose a gentle cycle
Cooler water and a gentle wash setting are a practical starting point for many activewear pieces when the care label allows.
Use less heat
Air drying or lower-heat drying can be a more considered choice for many stretch-based and layered active garments.
Keep the process gentle.
Activewear often combines fitted construction, stretch and layered styling. A lower-intensity care routine can help avoid unnecessary stress on the garment.
Favor cooler washing
When the garment label permits, cooler water offers a simple approach for routine care.
Keep agitation moderate
A gentle cycle can reduce unnecessary movement against other garments during washing.
Use lower heat
Air dry when suitable, or choose lower heat if the product care label allows machine drying.
Do not leave damp pieces bundled
Remove washed garments promptly and allow them to dry fully before folding or storing.
Different layers benefit from different attention.
Use the garment type to decide where to be most careful, then follow the specific care label on the piece.
Sports bras, tanks & fitted tops
Gentle washing can be especially useful for close-fitting pieces with stretch. Fasten any hooks or closures before washing and avoid rough garments in the same load.
Leggings & fitted bottoms
Turn fitted bottoms inside out before washing and keep them away from sharp fasteners or abrasive surfaces that may catch the fabric.
Joggers, hoodies & sweatshirts
Close zippers, empty pockets and reshape garments after washing. Fold heavier pieces rather than forcing them into crowded storage.
Caps, gloves & active accessories
Smaller accessories can require different treatment from clothing. Review their individual care instructions before washing or drying.
Less stress. More considered care.
The easiest way to care for an active rotation is to avoid unnecessary extremes. High heat, overloaded wash cycles and rough mixing can place additional stress on garments that are designed to move with you.
Between wears
Store pieces ready for their next move.
Once garments are clean and fully dry, a little organization can help keep your active rotation easy to reach and easy to maintain.
Let every piece dry fully
Avoid folding or packing garments while they are still damp after washing or wear.
Give heavier layers room
Fold hoodies, sweatshirts, fleece and joggers neatly so they are not compressed into an overcrowded space.
Keep accessories together
Store headbands, gloves, wristwear and performance accessories in one easy-to-reach place between sessions.
