Peter Storm Long Sleeve Thermal Zip Neck Baselayer Top - Black - Size 16

The half-zip neck provides adjustable ventilation, allowing you to quickly release heat when you start to warm up during physical activity or zip it up for extra warmth when stationary.

It is designed for active cold weather pursuits such as fitness, walking, hiking, skiing, trail running, and similar outdoor activities where thermal insulation and comfort are important.

The stretch design ensures a close, anatomical fit that moves with your body, preventing chafing and allowing for a full range of motion without restriction.

The baselayer is made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% viscose, which is chosen for its thermal properties and comfort.

While it can be worn as a casual top, it is primarily designed as a baselayer to be worn underneath other layers like fleeces or jackets for optimal thermal performance.

The polyester and viscose blend offers good moisture-wicking capabilities, but for extremely high-intensity activities in warm conditions, a more specialized synthetic or merino wool baselayer might offer superior breathability.

Refer to the product's size chart, which typically aligns with UK women's dress sizes. The baselayer is intended for a close fit, so consider your preference for snugness when choosing.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The design is a close, stretch fit; consider sizing up if you prefer a looser feel. Allow the garment to break in during wear.

Check care label instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade thermal properties. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce insulation.

Gently try to move the zip back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip.

Wash the garment according to care instructions, specifically avoiding fabric softeners. Sometimes, residues can build up on the fabric, affecting breathability.
