Before washing your camo, turn the garments inside out. You can then choose to wash them by hand or washing machine. Hand washing will give you the longest color life and can be achieved by taking a five-gallon pail of cold water and some baking soda and sloshing the camo up and down in the mixture a few times before letting them stand overnight. In the morning, wring out your garments, shake them out and then hang them to drip dry. This will reduce color loss by reducing abrasion and heat applied to the fabric.

And the detergent that you didn't rinse out will rot your skin and the garment too . I don't know about the rest of you , but I wash my camo by the standard directions on the bottle of Sportwash and mine look just fine . The usual reason for me to buy new camo , other than impulse buys

, is because I have simply outgrown them . Geez I need to get back on the bike .... :-[
