Yeah, the tag says machine wash cold, but I was wonder specifics. It's expensive and I don't wanna mess it up.

Lemme know your experiences!

 

i wash mine with a spray down of febreeze

 

same here

 

Pull out armor, throw in washer for gentle cycle, line dry.

 

i wash mine in the machine on delicates and line/ garage dry mine.

 

So....How often do you guys wash your jackets?

 

I wash mine every Fall before putting it away. In the bathtub with cold water, and small amounts of laundry detergent. Rinse a couple of times, and let it hang dry outside. Then I febreeze it, let that dry and put it up. If I do a bunch of city riding and get elements on it, I'll do it midway through the summer too.

Oh, I also put scotchguard on it in the spring. It helps protect the fabric.

 

If I washed it it would remove the layer of hardened insect exoskeletons that add a layer of reinforcement to the outer shell of the jacket...

 

Thanks a ton shaver! my jacket is primarily white so ill probably have to do it sooner than later!

 

You bet dude. My jacket is red and white too, white being the primary color. I scotchguarded it the first day I picked it up. I noticed how nasty it was after my first riding season, and thought "man, I may as well junk this one". Well, after some good scrubbing, it came clean and didn't stink anymore.
