Do your high-vis clothes need to be hand washed and air dried or can you put them in the tumble drier?

I don't hand wash anything. I hang up most cycling clothes to dry rather than using the dryer. However I have put ankle and wrist bands -- hi viz yellow with 3M reflective material -- in the dryer on low heat without problems.
Best to check the care instructions for any particular garment.
- Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
- Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
- Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle
Gone but not forgotten:
- Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
- Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

Funny that this just got bumped up. I just ordered the second jersey a few days ago. They changed the style this year and I prefer the older style, so I grabbed it while there was still some stock left.
As far as laundering, I give it a quick rinse under the faucet as soon as I'm done riding, then hang it up until laundry time when it goes in with the regular load. I have a front loader so the spin cycle is very effective. I'll throw it in the dryer for about 10 minutes, if at all. It doesn't take much time to dry synthetics after going through the spin cycle in a front loader. My washer has a "sport/synthetic" setting but I never have enough clothes to run that cycle exclusively.
