WA SHING INS T RUC T IONS
New cycling clothing always looks nice: fresh colours, a good fit. Therefore it is important to maintain the quality of the clothing to enjoy it for as long as possible. Our advice on the maintenance of your cycling clothing:
It is best to wash the clothes directly after your work-out. The perspiration moisture can affect the clothing, causing the fabric to become damaged, thinner and less elastic. Also dried dirt makes it difficult to get your outfit clean. If immediate washing is not possible, put the clothing to soak. Preferably use liquid and no chlorine-containing detergents.
Do not use fabric softener, this will damage the fabric and breaks down the water repellent and elastic features.
Wash the clothes inside-out, make sure all pockets are empty.
We advise you to use hand wash when you wash your outfit for the first time. Use cold water with a liquid detergent to prevent any colour blending. Afterwards the clothes can be washed in lukewarm water.
If laundry is washed in the washing machine, always follow the laundry instructions mentioned inside the clothes. Never exceed the specified maximum temperature of 30 degrees. At higher temperatures, the elasticity and the zippers get damaged.
Always wash the clothes separately in the washing machine. Close the zippers and velcro (wash preferably without velcro) to prevent damage.
Hang the clothes wet and allow to dry in a darker place to avoid discolouration.
Never dry the clothes in the dryer. The elastic materials are not resistant to this and the clothing will soon lose its shape.

CLEAN CLOTHING Corporate Social Responsibility “We will develop the world’s best cycling wear!” The expression of founder Frans Verbeeck still counts today. But there is more to the word “best” than it seems. Not only the quality of the clothing is important but also the impact on the society matters. Vermarc Sport is a Belgian company that takes its responsibility to produce cycling clothing in an ethical responsible environment with a minimal impact on the planet. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) consists out of three principles: Profit, People and Planet. These three elements are strongly connected. Below is a brief explanation of how Vermarc Sport applies the CSR-policy in their organization.
Living wage Vermarc Sport takes its responsibility to produce the cycling garment in fair labor conditions.
Average lead time: 8 weeks Unlike other companies that put more and more pressure on their suppliers to deliver the clothing very fast, Vermarc Sport respects an average lead time of 8 weeks. In this way the workload decreases and the quality is guaranteed.
Code of conduct
Production: Europe Vermarc Sport has a 29-year-old collaboration with a supplier in Italy. This Italian production house started a new production department in Bosnia-Herzegovina last year. Today 80 % of the cycling clothing is produced in Italy, 10 % in Bosnia-Herzegovina and 10 % in a Belgian company. Because of the long-term relation with direct suppliers, effective and sustainable improvements of the labor conditions are assured. By keeping the production in Europe, and not in Asia, the transport pollution is reduced.
The Italian production house closely follows a code of conduct based on the fundamental ILO-values (ILO = International Labor Organization). The code of conduct is placed in different areas in the factory. Below is a brief summary of this code of conduct: • Voluntary employment; • No discrimination based on gender or religion; • Freedom of rights. CAO (Collective Labor Agreement) is respected; • Punctual salary payments; • Right to legal vacation; • Legal minimum wage is respected; • Work time and working overtime is respected; • Work is delivered on an average basis to ensure job security; • Safe working environment, sanitary facilities; • Minimal impact on the climate.
Trade union freedom & long-term contracts The Italian factory counts different independent trade unions (CGIL and CISL). 75 % of the employers has a permanent contract. Because of the trade unions and the long-term contracts there is room for social dialogue. The employers have their say in the daily policy of the business. Do not hesitate to contact Vermarc Sport if you wish to attain more information of the efforts Vermarc Sport delivers concerning corporate social responsibility.
