No, the product information states 'Do not tumble dry'. Tumble drying can damage the fabric and reflective elements, potentially compromising its safety certifications. Air dry instead.
The brushed inside makes the hoodie warm and soft to wear, enhancing comfort against the skin. It also helps with moisture absorption.
Follow the standard care instructions (normal wash at 40°C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, iron at moderate temperature). Ensure any logo application does not interfere with the garment's original safety certifications by adhering to size and placement limits.
While the product description lists 'Unisex' for some variants, specific sizing and fit should be checked. The 'Recommended gender: Man' may apply to certain models or interpretations. The slim fit is a key design consideration.
UPF 40+ indicates that the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 97.5% of UV rays. This is certified to EN 13758-2.
The hoodie is made from a blend of 50% cotton (combed, brushed inside) and 50% polyester (durable stretch). Some variants may list 60% cotton/40% polyester based on different specifications.
Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed, especially avoiding harsh detergents and high heat drying, which can degrade reflective materials. Avoid excessive dry cleaning.
Confirm that the garment was washed at 40°C and not tumble dried. Air dry flat or on a line. Do not exceed the recommended washing temperature.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
