Velcro and Abrasion

Velcro is used extensively in modern sports equipment including shoes, boots, gloves, belts, poles, and even on clothing. Because of their design, Velcro hooks easily grab onto high performance wicking fabrics and pick away at the fibers; even one brush with Velcro can deface fabric and damage sublimated artwork.

While some fabrics resist damage from Velcro hooks more than others, virtually all performance race fabrics are susceptible to snagging. Where ever possible, Jakroo selects fabrics to minimize this fabric-velcro conflict. Here is what you can to help make your Jakroo gear last and look great:

• Select gloves that have no Velcro (or at least Velcro closers on the back of hand)
• Remove any excess Velcro material from pole straps
• Avoid any Velcro contact with race suits, and any customized ski clothing while skiing
• Wash custom ski clothing separately from anything containing Velcro or abrasive surfaces
• Turn race suit inside out when washing (or place in garment bag)
• Wash in gentle cycle with mild soap
• Avoid fabric softeners
• Hang to dry

Warranty
Jakroo products are warrantied against manufacturing defects, which do not include abrasion against rough surfaces. Contact your account manager if you have concerns about artwork or color. We cannot warranty custom clothing against damage from Velcro, abrasive surfaces, crashes or long-term wear and tear.
