How do I care for my Spatz?Updated 6 months ago
How to care for your SPATZ:
SPATZ are made of layers of very high tech fabrics which although tough, will last much longer and perform better if cared for properly. SPATZ are manufactured by the world's most highly rated neoprene factory and need to be treated with the same care as a premium wetsuit.
How to wash your SPATZ:
Watch the video or follow the written instructions below...
Only kidding. Follow this guide:
- The best way to clean your SPATZ is to rinse them in cold (or luke warm) water.
- Use a little mild soap if you have to.
- If there is any debris, gently wipe it off under the tap with a soft sponge.
- Or, be lazy like me and just rinse them off in the shower after a ride...
How to dry your SPATZ:
- Pat any excess water off them with a soft towel.
- Hang them in a warm(ish) place. Use the velcro loop to hang them.
- If you hang them inside-out they will dry quicker but remember that if you leave them like this for a long time the neoprene may crease or wrinkle.
- When they're dry, store them as below...
How to store your SPATZ:
- The key message is that if the SPATZ are left folded, crushed or inside-out for any length of time the neoprene may crease.
- This does not affect the performance of the SPATZ but let's avoid it eh?
- To store them, lay them (the right way out) on a shelf without folding them over.
- Or even better, use the velcro fasteners to hang the SPATZ up on a hook, clothes airer or if you're hardcore, over your brake levers...
