Polyester and cotton clothing
Unique style, outstanding performance: what applies to your bike also applies to clothing from the BMW Motorrad collection. Clothing made of polyester and cotton often doesn't look like typical motorcycling clothing, but it will protect you on the bike like functional clothing does. Find out here how to take good care of your clothing to make it almost last a lifetime.
1. Preparation
1. Preparation
Remove protectors and insert prior to washing. Close all zips, hook and loop fasteners as well as press studs.
2. Cleaning and washing
2. Cleaning and washing
Polyester and cotton clothing is machine-washable on the delicate cycle at 30 degrees. Use BMW Motorrad performance detergent or a liquid laundry detergent for delicate fabrics. Do not use fabric softener. Subsequently rinse thoroughly. After washing, the garment can be spun briefly.
Recommended: wash the outer jacket and the insert separately in a laundry bag each.
3. Drying
3. Drying
After washing, line dry clothing at room temperature. Do not place over a radiator or dry in the sun. Air clothing well at room temperature and store it hanging up on a clothes hanger after having come in from a ride in the rain.
4. Iron
4. Iron
You can iron clothing made of polyester and cotton on low heat. The fabric’s waterproofing effect can be reactivated by ironing according to the care label. Do not iron hard plastic parts, reflective print or hook and loop fasteners! Place a cotton towel between iron and clothing to protect delicate parts and accessories.
5. Waterproofing
5. Waterproofing
The outer fabric has been waterproofed in production. Since no waterproofing lasts permanently, we recommend you treat clothing with a BMW Motorrad waterproofing agent for motorcycling clothing after prolonged exposure to rain and after washing.
