Take care of your gear

I bought some knee armor yesterday. They're like knee pads, but with CE hard armor, so I decided to wash them. I also pulled the pads out of my everyday helmet and threw them in too.
Now my helmet smells like a fresh mountain pass on a nice sunny day!

Now you don't even need to leave home for the experience.
Did you machine wash them?

Doesn't the foam get affected by moisture though? I was told to take the pads out of my jacket before washing it, for instance.

Didn't notice any damage to the pads. I used the delicate cycle and air dried them.
