Product Care

Always read the maintenance label

Inside every Louis Garneau garment is a maintenance label indicating the most adequate care for that specific garment. Make sure to follow these instructions. Remember that in every case, all zippers, velcros and buttons must be fastened or closed prior to washing.

Use a detergent without bleaching agents or additives

Never use detergents or stain removers containing bleaching agents or additives. Even a minute quantity can damage the fabric. The use of additives can leave traces on a fabric’s fibers that can hamper certain technical performances. 

Recommended drying

For the majority of Louis Garneau apparel, we recommend hanging the garments to dry. No dry cleaning. Always validate the method to use for washing and drying on the care label.

Product use

It’s very important to thoroughly rinse your triathlon garments after use in a pool, the sea, etc., to remove any chlorine or salt in order to prevent loss of elasticity and color. This will ensure a better durability of the garment.
