How To Care For Your Run Gear

Because performance starts with how you treat it. šŸƒ

Our WYN run gear is designed to go the distance—with you and for you. Crafted from premium WYN Endure Lycra (210gsm, 75% Nylon / 25% Spandex), it’s built for long runs, fast finishes, and all the sessions in between. With four-way stretch, moisture-wicking performance, and OKEO-TEXĀ® Standard 100 certified fabrics, our run gear is engineered for endurance—but it performs even better with the right care.

Here’s how to make sure your run gear stays fresh, supportive, and ready for more miles:


1. WASH IT SOLO (OR WITH LIKE COLORS) 🫧

Some of our run pieces—especially darker or brighter colors—may bleed when new. To avoid any surprises, always wash your run gear separately, inside out, and with like colors to preserve vibrancy and prevent dye transfer.


2. COLD WATER ONLY šŸ’§

High heat can break down performance fabrics and stretch out your favorite pieces. Stick to cold water and a gentle cycle to maintain compression, shape, and fabric integrity.


3. SKIP THE HEAVY STUFF šŸ‘–

Avoid washing your run gear with rough or bulky items like towels, jeans, or zippers. These can cause snags or pilling over time. Lighter loads = longer life.


4. HANG DRY (ALWAYS) 🄵

Never tumble dry. High heat from dryers can damage the stretch and performance of WYN Endure Lycra. Air drying not only protects your gear, but also helps reduce environmental impact. A WYN-WYN.


5. GO EASY ON DETERGENTS 🧼

Mild, sport-specific detergents are your best friend. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or heavy fragrance formulas, which can degrade fabric performance and trap odor over time.


6. WASH AFTER EVERY WEAR 🧓

Sweat, sunscreen, and oils can break down fabric over time. A quick wash after each session will keep your gear fresh and your skin happy.


Treat your gear like it treats you—designed to support, built to endure.
Take care of your WYN run gear, and it’ll return the favor mile after mile.
