FAQs
What is Q-Wic technology?
Q-Wic is a fabric technology designed to quickly pull moisture and sweat away from your skin to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate, keeping you dry and comfortable.
How do I care for my Persist T-Shirt?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not dry clean and iron on a low setting, avoiding direct contact with reflective prints.
Is this t-shirt suitable for very cold weather?
The Persist T-Shirt is lightweight and designed for moisture management during activity. For very cold weather, it is best used as a base layer with additional insulating layers on top.
How effective are the anti-bacterial properties?
The anti-bacterial properties help to prevent odor-causing bacteria from multiplying on the fabric, keeping you feeling fresher for longer during and after exercise.
Can the reflective detailing be washed off?
The reflective detailing is printed onto the fabric. While durable, it can be damaged by high heat (ironing, high tumble dry settings) or abrasive cleaning. Proper care will maintain its visibility.
What does 'recycled polyester' mean?
It means the polyester fabric used in the t-shirt has been made from recycled materials, such as post-consumer plastic bottles, reducing the need for virgin resources.
What is the fit like on this t-shirt?
The Persist T-Shirt generally has a standard athletic fit. However, precise fit can vary, and it's recommended to check the Dare 2b size guide for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
T-shirt retains odor after washing
Ensure you are using an adequate amount of mild detergent and that the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine. Consider a pre-soak or a specialized sports wash. Check that the anti-bacterial properties of the fabric are still active; if the shirt is very old, these may diminish over time.
Fabric feels less effective at wicking moisture
Check for fabric softener buildup, which can clog the fibers and reduce wicking ability. Wash with detergent only (no softener) and consider a vinegar rinse. Ensure the garment is not excessively worn.
Reflective detailing is peeling or damaged
Avoid high heat during washing and drying, and do not iron directly on the reflective prints. If damage has occurred, it cannot be repaired but does not affect the garment's primary function.
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the Dare 2b size chart for accurate measurements. If the fit is still not ideal, consider exchanging for a different size or a different model with a preferred fit type (e.g., regular vs. slim).
