Bike kit : Bibs, jerseys etc: How often do you wash 'em?

RSV_Ecosse

Just wondering, kinda curious as to the longevity of bibs, jerseys etc, especially team kit, as far as how they stand up to regular washing?.

How often should I be washing my kit?. ( And yeah, I know my nose should be able to tell me!! ).

At the moment, I'm washing my stuff after every commute ( i.e. after I get back home from work on the return journey ) and alternating between 4 complete sets of kit I have. Washed kit gets stuck in the airing cupboard and is ready the next day if required.

Is that overkill/too much washing?. :?:

fast as fupp

you SHOULD wash bibs after every use

shirts depends on your nose!

Yeah, shorts should be washed every day. Shirts I tend to wear 2 for the week unless it's been particularly hot.

Just make sure you keep checking how thin the fabric goes though - nobody wants to see your crack when riding behind you!! :shock:
