Can I Wash the Shirt Connector with the Shirt?
The Hexoskin Shirt and its Connector can be machine-washed, but the recording Device must be removed. Use cold water on a delicate cycle and air-dry only. Avoid bleach, softeners, and heat.
Yes! — the Hexoskin Shirt and the attached Connector are machine-washable. However, please follow these care instructions to avoid damaging the embedded electronics:
-
Before washing:
-
Make sure to unplug and remove the Hexoskin Device from the Shirt.
-
Return the Connector into the Side Pocket to keep it protected during washing.
-
-
Machine wash settings:
-
Use the Delicate cycle with cold water.
-
Add only half the recommended amount of detergent to prevent residue buildup.
-
Do not use fabric softeners or bleach:
-
Softeners leave a waxy film that reduces the Shirt’s moisture-wicking performance.
-
Bleach damages the fabric threads and electronic components.
-
-
-
Drying:
-
Hang to dry only — never use a dryer.
-
Heat from a dryer can damage both the fabric and the internal electronics.
-
-
Additional care tips:
-
Do not iron.
-
Avoid hand washing — twisting or wringing may harm the Shirt’s electronics.
-
To prevent odors, avoid storing the Shirt in sealed containers or plastic bags when damp.
