Hi Irulan - yes, you're spot on about the Assos kit wash. Definitly another way to make an extra buck.

Having said that though, they do a rain jacket made out of this incredible fabric. When it gets wet the material kinda changes texture to block the water coming in, but let the sweat out. It's really strange - the fabric kinda gets thicker. ( Hard to explain) I guess it's a some kind of development on from Gortex.

Anyway... they recommend you use the special wash for this and so far we have, just washing the rain jacket by hand in a basin, as I'm not sure what effect 'normal' washing detergent would have on this stuff.

(note: Assos rain jacket v,v, expensive and don't want to ruin it .Couldn't afford to replace it.. )

Otherwise I just use regular, non- biological detergent and no fabric conditioner on the cycling kit. No probelms so far...
