Advice | 5 June 2009 | par : remy

In the winter it’s even more important to:

-          WARM UP to avoid injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments stiffened by the cold.

-          COVER UP EXTREMITIES that are more sensitive to the cold : gloves, hat or headband to lower the risk of sinusitis.

-          DRINK, even if you don’t feel thirsty, to compensate for water loss.

-          COVER up after sport to avoid catching a chill.

You can also:

- Go out as a group to stay motivated.

- Do your sport in the daytime in light and less damp conditions.

- Wear reflective garments for visibility.

- Use cream to moisturise your skin

Because it generates endorphins, sport will boost your spirits and it’s a great remedy for winter blues!

Advice | 6 March 2009 | par : audrey

Novadry textiles are designed to be easy-care. To ensure optimum and lasting performance, we recommend you:

-          Remove stains before washing.

-          Machine wash (30 to 40°C): remember to fasten hook & loop fasteners and use gentle detergent.

-          Rinse well and don’t spin on too fast a cycle.

-          Line dry or tumble dry on low for a short cycle.

Novadry fabrics have a water repellent treatment; they don’t soak up water.

This treatment can fade over time.   To reactivate it you can:
- Iron the areas concerned (cold iron).

- Use the tumble dryer.

- Apply Novadry re-waterproofing spray.
