Our premium fabrics can stand up to your hardest and sweatiest training sessions but deserve a little TLC when it comes to care and laundering. Below are some tips to keep your gear smelling fresh and ensuring you get the longest life out of your Brava apparel.

HOW TO CARE FOR BRAVA CLOTHING

Follow the instructions to avoid pilling and preserve the fabric's appearance
  • Avoid repetitively rubbing the fabric in the same areas, for example hydration packs, backpacks or waist belts.
  • Avoid sitting on rough surfaces.
  • For clothing containing a zip-guard, carefully place the zip-guard along the fastener to avoid chafing.
  • Rinse thoroughly clothing that has been in contact with chlorine to extend the lifespan of your garment.

 No exchange or refund will be granted for wear and tear resulting from improper use of the product.

 

LAUNDERING 

 

LESS IS MORE

Use a residue-free, sport specific laundry detergent (for example, Sport Suds) if possible. Don’t overdo it on the detergent– too much detergent is hard to rinse out and can actually cause bacteria to buildup.

 

LIKE WITH LIKE

Always wash like garments and colours together.

 

WASH SEPERATELY

Avoid washing technical fabrics with cotton garments or other items that can cause abrasion (such as Velcro, zippers, denim, hooks, etc.) Cotton fluff tends to stick to technical fabrics and can also cause piling of products with Lycra®, which is found in almost all Brava apparel.

 

SKIP THE SOFTENER

Never use bleach or fabric softener. Harsh chemicals and fabric softeners break down the technical properties of our fabrics including Lycra®, ruining the way they stretch and fit. Fabric softeners also leave a residue on fabrics, creating a barrier which inhibits wicking capabilities and locks in bad smells.
