FAQs
What is SEAMSMART technology?
SEAMSMART technology refers to a construction method that provides seamless flexibility and stretch, allowing for a natural range of motion during athletic activities without restriction.
Is this hoodie suitable for cold weather?
This hoodie is designed as a lightweight performance layer. While it offers protection from elements, it is not insulated for extreme cold and is best layered over or under other garments for warmth in colder conditions.
Can I wear this for swimming?
The product is described as 'sea-ready,' meaning it is suitable for activities in seawater. While not a swimwear garment, it can handle getting wet during coastal activities and dries quickly.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. The garment is designed for a performance fit, so it should feel snug but not overly tight, allowing for movement.
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, providing excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is fixed and elasticated, designed to stay in place during activity. It does not have drawcords or other adjustment features.
What materials is the hoodie made from?
The hoodie is made from a lightweight blend of 90% recycled polyester and 10% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels sticky or clammy.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Residue from detergents or fabric softeners can impede moisture-wicking. Wash with a mild detergent and no fabric softener.
Odor persists after washing.
While the fabric is designed to resist odor, intense use may require a more thorough cleaning. Try soaking the garment in cool water with a specialized sports wash before machine washing.
Thumb loops feel restrictive.
The thumb loops are designed to stay in place during movement. If they feel uncomfortable, they can simply be left unused. Ensure you are wearing the correct size for optimal fit.
Sun protection effectiveness reduced.
The UPF 50+ rating is inherent to the fabric's weave and treatment. Ensure the garment is clean and free from heavy soiling, which could slightly affect its performance. Always follow care instructions.
