What age group is Size S suitable for?

Is the fit true to size?
Yes, this shirt uses a standard regular fit profile, designed to provide a comfortable, non-restrictive feel.
How should I clean the shirt to preserve the material?

Does the shirt offer UV protection?
While the fabric provides a barrier, it is not explicitly rated for UV protection; always follow standard sun safety practices.
What is the primary material used?
The top is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester, chosen for its moisture-wicking capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after heavy exercise
Ensure the shirt is being worn as a base or primary layer and that the child is not wearing non-breathable layers over it.
Garment losing sweat-wicking effectiveness
Check if fabric softener was used in previous washes; if so, wash the garment again without softener to clear the residue from the fibers.
Snagged threads on the mesh panels
Be mindful of sharp objects or Velcro in the laundry; turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the mesh surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup and is ready to wear immediately. To ensure the longevity of the moisture-wicking technology and the integrity of the polyester knit, please follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent fading.
- Detergents: Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the Dri-FIT sweat-wicking performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry for the best results.
- Maintenance: Do not iron directly on any printed logos or mesh panels.
