How to care for performance fabrics

Performance fabrics are engineered, and they last longest with a little care.

Wash cold and inside out, with like colors. Skip fabric softener — it coats the fibers and reduces stretch and wicking.

Lay flat or hang to dry. Heat is the enemy of elastane, so avoid the dryer whenever you can.

For merino, wash less often. Airing it out overnight is usually enough, as wool is naturally odor-resistant.
