Do you wash your bibs in the wee bag that came with them?

    Always wash any shorts in a bag, and jerseys with a zip as well. Reduces abrasion .

    Nope. Got one pair of S5 mille's that are 4 years old and may be closing in on 20,000 miles, still totally fine. Deg for no Velcro in there though..

    Yes. Although the S7 ones don't come with one. All that loose pad (Golden Gate) looks easy to rip off.

    I put mine in the wash basket, and they appear in a bedroom drawer a day or so later.

    They just get slung in with all the rest of the washing, no special washing powders or liquids or bags, and after 3 years are perfectly fine. Probably wear them twice a week so they get washed twice a week.

    I think they're S5 Mille, just a pair of cycling shorts, not Tim Peake's spacesuit.

    ^^^This, I make sure I don't use Fabric Softener because that might affect garments like the Gabba. Other than that just wash normally.

    Fabric Conditioner shouldn't be used on any sports kit as it can impair the breathability.

    I don't use a bag with the S7 Equipes, as others have said they don't come with one. But I gave up using the bag with the S5s too as more often than not they would just come out in the wash anyway.

    Inside out, on short sports program at 30 degrees, with Halo liquid (just 2/3 of a capful is enough, with soft water at least).

    I just stick them in the wash at 30 degrees with no fabric conditioner. I suspect the missus chucks them in with everything at god knows what temperature and possibly even puts them in the tumble drier. However she has bought most of them. I have 5 pairs from 6 months old to over 10 years.
