    Hi All
    I have belstaff 'textile' trousers and jacket for my bike and the labeling says to handwash in liquid soap or soap flakes( not biological detergent) and i was wondering what product you guys use and also what is the best spray stuff to get to waterproof again after washing. Need to wash mine, especially ankle to knee part(flippin weather) but want to get the right weather proof spray to put on.
    Thankin U

    erm cleaning eh...... I clean my bike sometimes does that count?

    Nikwax does well on my sailing gear. I've never cleaned my bike gear so I don't know how well it works at 70mph but it will keep waves off you.

    There's stuff called techwash that you throw into teh wash with your gear thats supposed to re-waterproof textile gear. Any bike shop should have it.
