7 Mistakes You’re Making with Your Premium Tech-Wear (and How Our Wash-and-Fold Fixes Them)

Your Lululemon and Arc'teryx gear isn't just clothing: it's an investment in your performance and comfort.

Stop ruining your high-end technical fabrics with "standard" DIY laundry habits that lead to pilling and lost elasticity.


The Top Mistakes Killing Your Tech-Wear:

  • Using fabric softeners that clog moisture-wicking fibers.
  • High-heat drying which melts synthetic bonds and kills stretch.
  • Washing with abrasive denim or heavy towels that cause pilling.
  • Ignoring zippers that snag delicate base layers.
  • Overloading the drum, preventing a proper rinse of sweat and oils.
  • Using standard detergents that strip water-repellent (DWR) coatings.
  • Mixing colors that bleed into your light-toned athletic gear.
