Wash & Care

Motorcycle clothing is different from regular sportswear, the wash & care requirements are also different.

Simply follow the instructions you’ll find inside every Motrox item (wash and care label) to keep your product in top condition for years of riding pleasure.

Depending on the type of motorcycle clothing or gear you have (leather, textile, a combination of both), different fabrics and constructions require specific attention on how to properly maintain them. We have also put together an overview of what wash and care can look like for your various products.
