So, I've had my latest set of riding gear for just over 2 years now. It's Frank Thomas textile and waterproof stuff and pretty good. It's kept me warm and dry in some of the most hideous conditions! However...
It's starting to really stink as I've never washed it! It's becoming a problem as I am riding to work and showing up in front of clients and I can almost see them wincing! My gloves are the worst by far.
So, something needs to be done right? But the care instructions say wash it with a sponge and a bit of soap. I think it's gone beyond that stage now (plus I really can't be bothered with the hassle), and I'd rather just bung it in the washing machine. Is this gonna trash the waterproofing abilities though?
So what would you do??? Vote away!
