I bought a jersey, a wind vest and some socks from a store and they became like this after the first wash. I turned them inside out and closed the zippers. Used the ASSOS active wear cleanser and put a program at 30degrees with 400 spin which was the lowest on the washing machine.

Something inside your machine ruined your clothes, this stuff is very delicate.
Did you pack your washer too full or dry them in the dryer?
I started washing all bike related stuff in those laundry-bags as the inside of my machine was damaging my jerseys. No issues since
Laundry bags
Something is wrong here – you did it all right – I spun mine up to 1200…been wearing their kit for 30 years – check the drum of the machine – it looks like something sharp and metal has done this
Leave them unzipped? I always zip up any clothing before a wash.
Looks like there something sticky like Velcro also in the washing machine
Zip up, turn bibs and jersey inside out, put in a delicates laundry bag… don’t pack your washing machine full of heavy gear, wash small load of bike/light items together, delicates wash setting if you have it.
That’s Velcro in the machine my dude. Does this to that type of material
I keep a wee bucket in my shower and hand-wash all my cycling kit in it straight after my ride.
For me it’s the only way to definitely avoid this sort of damage.
As cycling kit dries in hours it also means that everything is available for my next ride.
You throwing razor blades in the washing machine brah?
Dude washed ten heavyweight jeans with open zippers with his cycling lingerie
That looks like a zip or velcro on something else in the wash has damaged it.
Unless I’m mistaken, most of the bins are basically hand wash only.
So all I ever do is a a rinse and spin but set the spin to low then air dry them
Amazon wash bags. I’ve had zero issues washing Assos bibs and jerseys
Laundry bag is key.
If it’s everything including socks, you’ve done something wrong.
