USE SIMPLE DETERGENTS WITH NO ADDITIVES Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Don't pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. READ THE CONTENT CARE LABEL: On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a "Gentle" cycle. Close all zippers, attach "hook and loop" closures on gloves YOU CAN USE THE DRYER, CAREFULLY: If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a "Hot" setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.

Great cycling jacket
"Purchased for my wife. Replacing a PEARL iZUMi jacket purchased many years ago. -- in colder weather, she uses a layer underneath but it is not large enough for a fleece underneath. -- We love the quality and BRIGHT yellow for visibility!"

Women's small West Barrier Jacket
"I like it fitted and bright fits just right"
Horrible customer service
"Runs super short and small. No customer service if you reach out with questions or concerns they just ignore you."
Perfect jacket
"I purchased a size M and the fit is perfect. Keeps the cold wind out when I'm riding, great colir that can be seen."
Bright colored jacket
"It's not like my older jacket as it doesn't fit as close to the body. I have been trying to find the same jacket but I guess you don't make it anymore. I love the yellow color and will be keeping it but wish it was like my older one."
Outstanding jacket for layering!
"One of the best cycling jackets I've ever worn - great fit, love the hi-vis color! Terrific on cool days with a long-sleeve baselayer, or even colder days in the upper 30's, with multiple layers underneath. Outstanding comfort and quality materials!"
