Goalkeeper apparel care

N1 technical apparel is designed to breathe, keep you warm and protect you match after match. Washing it correctly keeps the fabric stretchy, the seams strong and the padding in place.

Washing

• Machine wash at 30 °C max, on a gentle cycle, or by hand.
• Wash garments inside out and with similar colors.
• Use a little detergent and no fabric softener: it clogs the pores of technical fabric.
• Don't use bleach or harsh stain removers.
• Close zips and velcro before washing so they don't snag other garments.

Drying

• Air-dry, in the shade, hanging or flat.
• Never tumble dry: heat deforms elastic fibers and padding.
• Don't iron. If you must, use the lowest temperature and iron inside out, avoiding prints and padding.

Base layers and Protek

Base layers and garments with Protek padding (goalkeeper jerseys, pants and shorts) are washed the same way, at 30 °C and inside out. Don't wring the padded areas and dry them flat or hanging so the padding keeps its shape. With this care, they'll last the whole season.

Rain jackets

Wash at 30 °C without fabric softener or bleach and hang to dry in the shade. Don't iron or tumble dry: the water-repellent treatment breaks down with heat.
