TRA Care Guide
Your TRA pieces are crafted with precision and premium materials to support your every move. Proper care will ensure they maintain their shape, structure, and look for years to come. Follow our recommended care guide to preserve the luxury feel and performance of your activewear.
1. Hand Wash or Cold Gentle Cycle
For the best results, hand wash your pieces in cold water. If machine washing, use a delicate cold cycle to protect fabric integrity and prevent fading.
- Why: Cold water preserves elasticity and minimizes wear on fibers, maintaining the fit and quality of the material.
- How: Avoid overcrowding your wash to prevent friction damage. For delicate items, use a mesh laundry bag.
2. Use a Gentle, High-Quality Detergent
Opt for a pH-neutral, high-quality detergent that’s free from harsh chemicals, bleach, and softeners. Fabric softeners can coat premium fabrics, limiting breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
- Why: Standard detergents and additives can break down premium fibers and dull colors.
- How: Choose a gentle or sports-specific detergent for activewear to keep your pieces looking vibrant and feeling fresh.
3. Turn Garments Inside Out
Turn your TRA pieces inside out before washing to safeguard logos, prints, and specialized finishes.
- Why: Inside-out washing reduces abrasion on the surface, preserving each piece’s design and texture.
- How: Flip each item before placing it in the wash, giving special care to pieces with unique finishes or details.
4. Air Dry Only
Always air dry your TRA items, as heat can weaken the premium fibers and affect the structural design. Hang them in a shaded, well-ventilated area or lay flat.
- Why: Air drying protects the fabric’s elasticity, color, and performance attributes.
- How: Hang or lay flat to dry—avoiding direct sunlight, which can fade and weaken the material over time.
5. Avoid the Iron
TRA’s advanced fabrics are wrinkle-resistant and designed to retain shape without the need for ironing. Ironing or applying heat can damage these specialized fibers.
- Why: High heat can distort the shape, reduce stretch, and degrade fabric quality.
- How: Simply smooth out your pieces after air drying to keep them looking sharp and ready for wear.
6. Store with Care
Store your TRA items flat or on padded hangers to retain their shape. Avoid overcrowding or hanging on thin hangers, as this can stretch delicate fabrics.
- Why: Proper storage prevents stretching and creasing, maintaining the garment’s original shape.
- How: For best results, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
7. Handle with Care
Our premium fabrics and detailing require gentle handling. When putting on or removing items, avoid overstretching or tugging at seams to retain structural integrity.
- Why: TRA’s design elements and fit can be compromised by excessive pulling.
- How: Slip into and out of each piece gently to maintain its sculpted, contoured fit.
By following these steps, you’re ensuring that each piece of your TRA collection maintains its premium look, feel, and functionality over time. TRA’s commitment to quality deserves the care it was designed to inspire. Thank you for choosing TRA—crafted for a life of elevated movement and style.
