Rst Textiles Washable?

[Djaniero]

Apologies for all the noob questions.

I've got an RST textile jacket and pants, both with removable lining. I know i can t throw the textiles in the wash, but am i able to wash the removable lining?

[Moo.]

What? Usually you can throw textiles in the wash, i;ve done it many times.

I wash it with Nikwax stuff to re-waterproof it

Yes you can wash the lining

[Rogerborg]

You can wash them and you should wash them, to get dirt out.

I'd suggest hand washing in a sink / bath / big bucket, using "soap flakes", no bio-this, enzymes-t'other, or nanobots, and then put through a machine cool wash or rinse with no detergent. Line dry or tumble dry on cool.

I can wash my RST tractech textile jacket? Once all the armour and winter lining is out obviously, I didn't think I could?

I have a green one of those and I've washed mine.
Was an ebay steal for £17 but was a bit grubby, As mentioned below took all armour out first
and also made sure all the velcros were 'reconnected' before it went in the machine to prevent snagging.
Then, 30 degree wash, wash inside out like you would jeans.
Don't go mad with the detergent, wash on it's own so it drains better.
They may need a second spin cycle as they will hold on to water and come out of the machine dripping wet.
Don't be tempted to tumble dry because ruin. Drip dry in a warm place.
Looked brand new after a wash.

One thing, take off all the plastic parts before you put it in the washing machine.

I also have textile gear, I just hand wash it in my bath, using washing soap.

Thanks for the info lads!

When I bought my bike, the previous owner threw in an alpine starts textile jacket. He took all the amour and lining out he said, and just threw the jacket in the wash, before I came to pick up the bike. It seems ok, but I dunno what it was like before the wash - so dunno if washing it had any major effects.

When I bother I wash them in the bath.

I last did it several years ago, they now smell like a wet dog when it rains.

Won't have much protection in a pair of pants, textile or not.

Label inside my 1 year old RST textile jacket says

Hand wash cool soapy water
Do not dry clean
Do not iron
do not tumble dry
drip dry only away from direct heat

Never use detergent on waterproof membranes such as gortex etc. it kills the waterproof qualities. Techwash is good as are soap flakes. Dissolve soap flakes in hot/boiling water before use - just pour the solution into the soap dispenser.
