Thermal warning.......

**DCC** · November 25th, 2005, 10:50 PM

Whilst moochin about the house, and coming across the the laundry bin, hubs decided to help out and put a wash on for me..........bless. In went all the dark stuff (well, he is well-trained) and in with them went the Xerotherm Artics (not that well-trained) which he put on a lovely warm wash - then tumble-dried.
After the initial grief & heart-ache, the divorce papers were put back in the drawer for another day, compensation was agreed and life @ Cutterham Towers went on as usual.
However, does the panel think that a quick tumble dry, on a one-off basis, would really lead to long-term damage of said under-garments? Would there really be a loss of thermal insulation after just one run-in with the Bosch?

Having got mine covered in diesel somehow, they have been washed about 20 times, and then hung on the line for about a week to try to get rid of the smell. In the end, vanish oxy-action powder stuff shifted the guff, but mine seem fine despite the abuse.

I'm sure they'll be OK, mine have taken some abuse and seem to be none the worse for it. Check they still fit though!

I wash and tumble dry my Arctics after every dive trip (ok, so SWMBO does it really

) - had no problems in almost two years of use.
