Enduro style LS tops shrink in the dryer leaving me sleeveless. What's the best brand for a bit of dryer abuse? In fact, what shirts in general survive the environmentally unfriendly drying process?

Most of my tld stuff comes out the washing machine nearly dry. No need for a dryer.

dont dry any cycling kit. Even heavy soft shells are dry within a few hours.

put them on a spin cycle after the wash, then hang your cycling stuff out to air dry only, other wise you'll kill them quickly

stick them on a plastic hanger, dry in an hour, even roubaix tights are pretty quick

As above, all my cycling specifc kit is synthetic so dries very quickly (note I also wear merino layers but as they don't smell you can wear multiple times without washing if required ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

I always wash all my gear and then tumble dry on low for an hour (apart from a stupid Merino base layer I bought by mistake).It means I can be ready to ride again in under 3 hours.
