FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the QUICK DRY & FRESH fabric?
The QUICK DRY & FRESH fabric is designed to wick sweat away from your skin, accelerate drying time, and actively repel odor-causing bacteria, keeping you comfortable and fresh during activity.
Is the UPF 50+ protection permanent?
The UPF 50+ protection is inherent to the fabric construction and treatment. Following the recommended care instructions will help maintain its effectiveness over time.
Can this midlayer be worn directly in sea water?
Yes, the garment is suitable for activities in sea water. Its quick-dry properties make it a good choice for both in-water activities and as a layer afterward.
How does SEAMSMART technology improve comfort?
SEAMSMART technology is engineered to minimize seams and create a more ergonomic fit, allowing for greater freedom of movement and reducing the risk of chafing or irritation during physical activity.
What are the thumb loops for?
The thumb loops are integrated into the cuffs and allow you to extend the coverage of the sleeves over your hands. They help keep the sleeves in place and provide extra warmth or protection.
Does the hood offer adjustable fit?
The hood is grown-on with elastication around the edge, providing a secure fit without a drawstring, designed to stay in place during active use.
What materials is this midlayer made from?
The midlayer is primarily made from 90% polyester and 10% elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and moisture-wicking capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less breathable or doesn't dry as quickly
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Residue from harsh detergents or softeners can block the fabric's pores. Wash according to care instructions.
Odor persists after washing
While treated for odor resistance, heavy use may require specific washing techniques. Pre-soak in cool water with a sports-specific detergent or a small amount of white vinegar before machine washing.
Thumb loops feel restrictive
The thumb loops are designed for a snug fit. If they feel too tight, ensure your hands are not excessively large for the size of the garment. They are intended for light use and may loosen slightly with wear.
