General Discussion / chain grease on polypropylene raingear

« on: October 12, 2022, 04:41:08 pm »

I have an  O2 set of polypropylene rainpants, on which I got a lot of chain grease.  Before I washed them, I was wondering if anyone has some advice on getting it out of this type of fabric.

My  husband and I were looking for rain jackets last winter for our cross country tour this summer, and weren't having much luck as nothing had a hood which we wanted.  Then we went back to REI and they now had the REI Co-op Junction Cycling Rain Jacket,  the one the earlier poster mentioned.  We both got one.  This jacket was about the most essential thing that we had for the first part of our trip, as it was cool and often wet.  We used the hood both over and under our helmets, were very thankful for the pit zippers, liked the velcro at the end of the sleeves and the double front zipper.  We did sometimes sweat under it, but the zippers helped.  This was just what we wanted. It helped too, that we were able to try them on in the store and get the fit we wanted
