Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Ignis Long Sleeve Zip-T is an essential base layer for active mountaineers and hikers seeking a reliable, high-performance garment for year-round adventures. Engineered with lightweight 120g/m² wicking fabric and a grid structure, it excels at moisture management and rapid drying during high-intensity movement; however, its lightweight construction means it is designed primarily as a technical layer rather than a standalone outer garment for extreme wind or cold.

FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for winter mountaineering?

Yes, it is excellent as a moisture-wicking base layer in a winter layering system, though you will need additional insulation layers over it.

Does the regular fit run true to size?

Yes, the Ignis LS Zip-T follows standard sizing, providing a comfortable, non-restrictive fit for most adults.

Can I tumble dry this garment?

It is recommended to air dry the shirt to protect the technical grid fabric and prolong the life of the material.

How does the anti-microbial treatment work?

The garment uses Polygiene technology, which utilizes silver salt to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria on the fabric.

What is the primary material used?

It is constructed from a lightweight 120g/m² wicking polyester blend designed for rapid drying and high breathability.

Troubleshooting

Fabric starting to hold odors after many uses

Ensure you are using a non-bio detergent and have not used fabric softeners, which can mask the Polygiene anti-microbial properties.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clean the YKK zip track with a soft brush to remove dust or grit, and ensure the zipper path is clear of any loose fabric threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for high-output mountain activities
  • Deep front zipper provides superior ventilation control
  • Polygiene treatment significantly reduces the need for frequent washing
  • Lightweight and packable for multi-day expeditions
  • Flatlocked seams prevent skin irritation under pack straps

Cons

  • Lightweight fabric may not provide sufficient standalone wind protection
  • Regular fit may feel too loose for those preferring a high-compression base layer feel
  • Requires careful washing to maintain the effectiveness of technical fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Ignis Zip-T, wash it on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical wicking fibers and diminish the fabric's performance. Always hang-dry the garment in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials and the anti-microbial treatment. When pairing with other layers, the regular fit ensures it slides easily under fleece or softshell jackets, making it a highly versatile component of any layering system.
