Hey, I thought I'm gonna get the "best" bibshorts out there, so I ordered an Assos FI.13 S2 and it came today, man it does look to be the best chamois I've ever seen, but heres my question, I have used Voler shorts and have washed them with all the other clothes in the washing machine, now after about 6 months or so they are getting holes in them. So here goes do you guys handwash your shorts or do you put them in the washing machine alone or with a few items and put it on delicate, I want to protect my huge investment, so I don't want holes prematurely!

Hand wash, hang dry.

I just leave them on while I shower.

Always always always hand wash.
Rinse and slighty wring out excess water.
Roll tightly in a towel. The towel will absorb more water.
Leave for about an hour, then hang to dry.
Treat them kindly and they will last for years! -
About how often do you wash your bibshorts?

I handwash my shorts and jerseys in the sink with Woolite after every ride. Cold water. Hand wash. Hang dry. They last longest, don't shrink, and don't fade one bit. -
Handwashing is a waste of time. Any decent washing machine has a delicate cycle. Wash with warm water, put any synthetic bicycle related attire (socks, jerseys) in the same load. Then air/hang dry. I have seven year old Pearl Izumi shorts and jersey still in great shape.

In a washing machine, cold only. Hang to dry afterwards.

As often as needed. You'll know and smell the signs.
