Hi all,
I don't want to come across as a filthy bugger however, with this post I may well give that impression :-[
Anyway, personal hygiene matters aside, I'm afraid to say that as a result of urban/cavers myth, I was reliably informed* you should not wash undersuits too often....Which I don't. But, although I can put up with my own 'funk', I've noticed the polartec pile is now looking a bit thin. I feel that a decent wash may 'plump up' the fibres. This may also restore some of its thermal properties and thus de bunking the urban/cavers myth....not to mention increase my popularity with my caving companions.
So, my question is, what's the best stuff to wash undersuits in that may even restore fleece pile?
Cheers
