How To Take Care Of Your Cycling Kit

How to Take Care of Your Cycling Kit
Keep your WYN gear in top form—ride after ride.

Your WYN cycling jerseys and bib shorts are built to perform—and they’re crafted with high-quality, technical fabrics that deserve a little extra care. Whether you're climbing switchbacks, logging endurance miles, or sprinting through city streets, your kit works hard with you. Here’s how to keep it working (and looking) like new.

Wash Smarter, Ride Longer 🚴

All WYN cycling jerseys and bib shorts are made with premium OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics, and our jersey main body fabric is also BLUESIGN® approved—meaning it’s engineered to meet high environmental and safety standards. Treat it right, and your kit will keep up with your training, season after season.

Quick care checklist:

Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F)
Use a mild detergent
Skip the fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh chemicals
Turn inside out before washing to protect logos and prints
Wash dark and light colors separately
Use a laundry bag for extra protection (especially for the bib straps!)

Avoid the Heat 🥵

High heat can damage technical fabrics and elastic over time. That’s why we recommend:

Line dry only—never tumble dry
Keep out of direct sun when drying
Avoid ironing (even on low heat)

Post-Ride Pro Tips 🧼

Hang dry immediately after your ride—especially on hot or humid days. Sweat and moisture can break down fibers over time.
Don’t leave your kit balled up in a gear bag or laundry bin.
Rinse right away if you’re not washing immediately—especially after a sweaty or rainy ride.

Chamois Care Counts 🫧

The chamois in your bibs is built for long-haul comfort, but it’s also one of the most delicate parts of your kit. Take care of it by:

Avoiding rough scrubbing or twisting in the wash
Never using fabric softener—it can clog the performance fibers
Letting it air dry fully before storing

Final Reminder: Treat Your Kit Like Gear, Not Clothes 🚲

Your WYN kit isn’t just apparel—it’s a performance tool. Taking a few extra steps in your wash and care routine helps it stay lightweight, aerodynamic, breathable, and supportive—just like the day you first zipped up.
