FAQs

What does 'ProTek finish' mean for the hoodie?

The ProTek finish is a treatment applied to the fabric that provides a durable water-repellent (DWR) surface. This means water will bead up and roll off the fabric rather than soaking in, offering protection against light rain and moisture.

Is this hoodie fully waterproof?

No, the hoodie has a water-repellent finish, not a fully waterproof one. It is designed to protect against light rain showers and splashes, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to saturation.

How should I wash the hoodie to maintain its water repellency?

Wash the hoodie on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. High heat can damage the ProTek finish.

Can I iron this hoodie?

Yes, you can iron the hoodie, but only on a low heat setting and always on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on any printed logos or the ProTek treatment.

Where are the team logos located on the hoodie?

The BWT Alpine Formula One Team logos and sponsor details are located on the chest, sleeves, shoulders, and upper back of the hoodie.

What is the fit like?

The hoodie features set-in long sleeves and a self-fabric hem and cuffs, designed for a classic and comfortable fit suitable for everyday wear.

Does the hood offer much warmth?

Yes, the hood is lined, providing additional warmth and protection for your head and neck against wind and cooler temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The ProTek finish may need reapplication. Use a technical wash-in or spray-on re-proofer designed for water-repellent fabrics, following the product's instructions carefully.

Logos or graphics are peeling.

This usually occurs due to improper washing or drying. Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle, avoiding high heat, and ironing on the reverse side at a low temperature.

Hoodie feels less soft than before.

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can affect the fabric's texture and the performance of the water-repellent treatment. Wash according to care instructions.

Pilling on the fabric surface.

Pilling can occur with normal wear and washing. Washing the garment inside out can help minimize this. Avoid over-washing and excessive friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This hoodie requires no setup as it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is compatible with standard apparel use and does not interact with electronic devices. To maintain its performance and appearance, especially the ProTek water-repellent finish, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment and fabric.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. High heat can damage the fabric and the ProTek finish.
  4. Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side. Avoid direct heat on any printed logos or treatments.
  5. Re-proofing: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. Consider using a technical wash-in or spray-on re-proofer for outerwear periodically to restore its performance. Follow the product instructions carefully.
