Frequently Asked Questions
How to wash cycling clothes?
If you have a washing bag designed specifically for delicates, use this. Place your gear in the bag and then place the bag in the washing machine. If there is a sports mode, select it if the temperature is no more than 30 degrees. If not, find a gentle cycle that is no warmer than 30 degrees. Do not use standard laundry detergent, and definitely do not use fabric softener. Allow the clothing to air dry - do not tumble dry.
Where to buy cycling clothes?
You're right where you need to be! When you purchase Northwave from this site, you support a local bike shop. Why make an online purchase and risk your money disappearing to some offshore giant when you can support small Aussie businesses?
Are cycling clothes necessary?
Honestly - one ride in purpose-designed kit like quality Northwave gear, and you will have your answer. Yes, absolutely cycling clothes are necessary. They're designed to maximise comfort and performance in a primarily bent-over riding position. They use carefully constructed fabrics that are lightweight, moisture-wicking and developed to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. In many cases, they are waterproof, windproof, hi-vis... So many reasons make cycling-centric gear fundamental to your performance and enjoyment on the bike!
