Yeah I have read the cleaning instructions but part of me reckons the pants would do ok washed in a cold gentle wash. anyone given this a go? Want them looking good, preparing for sale, only worn from new a few months.

Find a day when its absolutely pissing down and go for a 150kph ride for 10 mins. Two birds with one stone, the joy of a ride and do the washing. Hang and dry. if only worn a few times i'd wet wipe and be done. Note, all relevant disclaimers, done on closed road by professional rider over seas with Ambulance handy, if following first method.

Nah, I would not machine wash, I did that and it damaged the internal waterproof layer. Maybe spot clean if needed with wet cloth and hang out and wash with hose.

I'm with blue, if t says don't, don't, it can damage bits. Revit have their own cleaning solution for their gear, maybe dririder has something like it. Or just get right thing from bike shop that do dri rider gear.

I chucked mine in the wash after the cold kiwi, I reckon they need a couple more cycles to get the Friday nites mud out : ) don't know if its damaged the waterproof properties, they were never very good to begin with.

its our daughters shes tiny 58kgs, size 14 pants and 12 jacket, pants small fitting, she has gloves and weather proof over gloves too, tiny boots size 6. I think the gear will be easy to sell, its the bike that seems to be taking awhile we have it listed on TM. I think I will just spot clean, im just a perfectionist, they are like new so I will take on everyones suggestions
