FAQs
What type of activities is this pullover best suited for?
This pullover is ideal for a range of outdoor activities including skiing, snowboarding, hiking, running, and cycling. It also serves as comfortable everyday wear.
How does the stretch fabric benefit the wearer?
The stretch fabric, made from a blend of polyester and elastane, allows for unrestricted movement and an improved, comfortable fit during any physical activity.
Is this top warm enough for very cold weather?
As a lightweight midlayer, it provides warmth through its fabric construction and thermal backing. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer additional insulation or outerwear over it.
What does 'moisture-wicking' mean for this product?
Moisture-wicking means the fabric draws sweat away from your skin to the outer surface, where it can evaporate, helping to keep you dry and comfortable.
How many plastic bottles were recycled to make this garment?
This product was made using recycled materials, with approximately 14 plastic bottles repurposed in its construction.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While it can function as a base layer due to its wicking properties, its design as a midlayer makes it most effective when worn over a dedicated base layer or as a standalone piece in milder conditions.
What is the purpose of the half-zip design?
The half-zip allows for adjustable ventilation, enabling you to easily regulate your body temperature by opening or closing the zip according to your activity level and the weather.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels clammy or damp.
Ensure you are using appropriate base layers that also wick moisture. Check that the garment is not overloaded with detergent, which can impede wicking properties. Wash according to care instructions.
Stiffness or reduced stretch after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce elasticity and wicking performance. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Gently check for any fabric caught in the zipper. If debris is present, clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help if it's stiff.
