FAQs

What age group is Size S suitable for?

This size is typically designed for children aged 7-8 years old.

Can this shirt be used for sports other than soccer?

Yes, its moisture-wicking properties make it ideal for any high-activity sport, including basketball, running, or gym class.

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?

Wash in cold water without fabric softeners and avoid high-heat tumble drying.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture management via Dri-FIT technology
  • Increased airflow from mesh side and back panels
  • Lightweight construction prevents overheating
  • Durable polyester fabric maintains shape over time
  • Regular fit offers a comfortable range of motion

Cons

  • Material may show signs of wear if snagged on rough surfaces
  • Regular fit is not intended for high-compression support
  • Specific sizing (Size S for 7-8 years) requires careful selection

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.
