Garments produces from textile fibres and fabrics should always be cleaned to prolong its lifecycle. HELD textiles can be washed in the washing machine. However, please use mild textile detergents only, do not use fabric softener. Fill the washing machine no more than half -full.

The articles 92070 and 92170, eVest Clip-in and eVest can also be sent to Held for professional cleaning for a fee.
IMPORTANT
Body armour (such as shoulder/elbow or special foam CE back protectors) must always be removed before starting the washing process.
Basic hints for using textile impregnators
Each time using the garment, air it well and remove dirt with a soft brush and clean water. The fabric has to be clean and humid. The impregnation will be effected after washing. Please treat the product only outdoors or in well ventilated rooms. The effect of the impregnation developes best after a warm treatment with:
- Dryer: allowed maximum temperature see care label
- Hairdryer: 10-15 minutes with a distance of 20-30 cm
- Electric iron: Level 2, put under a cotton towel
The impregnation should be repeated accordingly the number and duration of wet weather rides. You should re-impregnate waterproof textile garments after each wash to renew the natural roll off-effect of the outer fabric.
