CARE FOR HORSE PILOT PRODUCTS

Imagining the clothes of tomorrow, clothes that would advance our sport in a sustainable way. This is one of our strong driving forces at Horse Pilot. Creating real added value that lasts.

We believe that your role as a user is essential. Here are our tips and tricks so that your products accompany you for a long time.

OUR GENERAL ADVICE FOR WASHING YOUR CLOTHES

  • Follow the label
    The first reflex to have is to check the instructions on the care label carefully. If these symbols look like hieroglyphics to you, you should read this page.
  • Wash less
    For all our garments, we recommend washing them only when necessary.
    Machine washing contributes to the wear of materials, fasteners, velcro, zips and other finishes. They are also major consumers of water and energy.
    Detergent water is believed to be responsible for more than a third of the plastic microparticles found in the oceans. To avoid worsening this last finding, we recommend using these filtering wash bags: Guppyfriend Washing Bag.
  • Use environmentally friendly detergents
    Preferably use gentle detergents, also called shampoo, free from enzymes that attack fabric fibres.
    You'll find our eco-responsible care products suitable for your clothes, such as detergent for technical garments to restore freshness to your sportswear.
  • Air dry
    Hang your clothes in the open air and if possible outdoors. Turn coloured garments inside out to prevent them from fading. Avoid leaving them damp in the washing machine for too long.
    We advise against machine drying which prematurely wears out products and uses energy. Moreover, excessive heat can be responsible for fibre shrinkage. Indeed, hot water loosens the fibres that make up the fabric. During spinning, the water evaporates and the fibres tighten. This is when the garment can shrink. The evaporation phenomenon that leads to fibre tightening also applies with a tumble dryer.
  • Without fabric softener is better
    Fabric softener makes fabrics softer, but uses a waxy substance that deposits on the surface of the garment.
    This can degrade the breathable effect / quick drying, reduce the lifespan of elastane or detach the heat-sealed seams present in our technical garments.
