How should I care for my gear?Updated a month ago

Apparel Care

Please note: The following care instructions are general guidelines. Always follow the specific care instructions listed on the individual product page or garment care label, unless otherwise noted below.

  • Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle.
  • Hang or lay flat to dry.
  • Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying—heat can break down fabric over time.

Merino Wool Items

  • Follow the care instructions listed on the individual product page or garment care label.
  • Dry clean only 
  • Machine washing or drying is not recommended 
  • Shrinkage may occur if improperly cared for and is not covered under warranty.

Sports Bra Inserts

  • Remove inserts before washing.
  • Hand wash separately in cool water.
  • Lay flat to dry to maintain shape and longevity.
  • Replacements sold here.

Velcro Care

  • Fasten all Velcro closures before washing to prevent snagging or damage to other garments.
  • Wash with like fabrics and avoid delicate items that may catch or pull.
  • Remove lint or debris from Velcro using a soft brush or by hand to maintain strong adhesion.
  • Avoid fabric softeners, as they can cause buildup and reduce Velcro effectiveness over time.
  • Avoid heat

Footwear Care

Please note: Footwear care instructions may vary by style and material. Always follow the specific care instructions listed on the individual product page, unless otherwise noted below.

Trainers

To keep your shoes looking their best:

  • Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth, gently dabbing the affected area.
  • Cleaning wipes may be used for quick touch-ups on non-brushed materials only.
  • For midsole scuffs, use a slightly damp melamine foam sponge with light pressure.
  • Do not machine wash, soak, submerge, or saturate the shoes.
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally and avoid heat.

Savage 1 Classics

The Savage 1 Classics feature premium brushed materials and are designed primarily for casual wear and rest days. They are not designed for gym workouts, training, running, or other high-intensity activities.

Brushed Leather

  • Gently remove dirt and debris with a clean, dry, soft-bristle brush.
  • For light marks, gently blot with a clean, dry cloth.
  • Do not wash, soak, or submerge the brushed leather.

Brushed Suede

  • Gently remove dirt and debris with a clean, dry, soft-bristle suede brush.

  • Allow to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.

Patriot 1s

The Patriot 1 is designed for active, on-patrol use and is built to handle demanding outdoor conditions, including normal exposure to wet environments.

  • The Patriot 1 can handle getting wet during normal use.
  • If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat.
  • For brushed material portions, follow the brushed leather and suede care instructions above.
  • Do not use cleaning wipes, leather cleaners, or other cleaning products on brushed materials unless specifically formulated for that material.
