How should I care for this garment to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash cold, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and avoid fabric softeners or ironing. Following these steps helps maintain the fabric's performance properties.

Troubleshooting
Fabric not drying quickly
Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine. Avoid using fabric softeners. Check that the tumble dryer is on a low heat setting or opt for air drying.
Odor persists after washing
Re-wash using a small amount of sports wash detergent, which is formulated to handle synthetic fabrics and odors. Ensure thorough rinsing.
Reduced stretch or comfort
Check for improper washing or drying methods, particularly excessive heat, which can damage elastane fibers. Follow care instructions carefully.
Thumb loops feel restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the garment fits correctly, the loops are designed for a snug fit to prevent sleeves from riding up. Try gently stretching the loop area if it feels too tight.
