Just about to do laundry and I admit I sometimes have no idea what the little symbols mean and take my chances, however I won't with this lovely new thermal shirt.
I believe I am safe to wash separately, however no dryer? It says "no tumble dry" so I am guessing that means no dryer at all? Likely that would ruin the wicking properties...
Thanks,
Nancy

Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with what you have left.

Most sports clothing say "no dryer" and you should always follow the directions...at least the first couple of times. ALL of my running clothes go in the dryer every time and I have had Breath Thermo shirts for 8+ years that still work the same as the day I purchased them. If you choose to go dryerless manufacturers recommend that about every 10 washing you put items in the dryer to tighten up the lycra. Good quality clothing like Mizuno have the properties in the fiber so that washing doesn't reduce their ability to do their job. Products like Under Armour treat the material after production and that can wear off.

That is good to know Sandy, I am not one with much patience for hanging things up etc. (hmmm didn't know that about some manufacturers treating after production, good to know) If I were to get even 8 years use I'd be thrilled.
Thanks

I always put all of my running clothes in the washer and the dryer...even my breath thermo.
I use a dryer sheet not liquid fabric softener.

Thanks patti, I'd hate to ruin these new items. I too use the sheets, not liquid, I prefer the "free" ones, (unscented etc)
I washed it and put it in the dryer and it is fine, was super this morning.
