The typical lifespan of cycling garments varies. A Classic Jersey made from AMP fabric may last more than five years, but a pair of well used bibs will last one or two seasons. The lifespan of a garment is greatly affected by how you care for it. Make sure to read our Garment Care Guide for details on how to properly care for cycling garments. We can replace zippers and mend pockets, but we cannot replace the chamois or patch shorts, which limits the lifespan of cycling bottoms.
Eventually, regardless of how carefully you use them, or how well you care for your Voler gear, they will begin to experience natural break down of materials and show wear. Fabric wearing thin, showing abrasions, stains, discoloration, rips or tears, or loss of DWR which can cause the garment to lose their ability to keep out moisture can be considered wear and tear. Voler manufactures high quality durable products, but they are not indestructible.
