Product Information
Full details
The Aubrion Young Rider React Tech Polo is designed for active kids who participate in summer riding activities. Its key benefit is keeping young riders cool and comfortable with a technical, wicking, and quick-dry polyester fabric. A potential caveat is that the self-colour prints might not be as durable as contrasting prints under heavy wear. This polo features an airy knit, light stretch for ease of movement, a 1/4 zip neck for ventilation, and a smart polo collar, all contributing to its performance-focused design for hot weather.

FAQs
What makes this polo 'tech' wear?
It's considered 'tech' wear due to its specialized polyester fabric that is engineered to be wicking, quick-drying, and breathable, designed for active performance.
Is this polo suitable for very cold weather?
No, this polo is designed specifically for warm weather and active use. Its lightweight and breathable nature means it offers minimal insulation for cold conditions.
How should I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer for specific measurements. The polo is designed for children, with sizes typically corresponding to age ranges (e.g., 7/8YRS, 9/10YRS, 11/12YRS).
Can the prints be ironed?
It is recommended to iron on a low setting and on the reverse side of the fabric, avoiding direct contact with the prints to prevent damage.
Is the fabric hypoallergenic?
While polyester is generally considered safe, individual sensitivities can vary. The fabric is designed to be comfortable against the skin, but if you have specific hypoallergenic concerns, consult product details or test wear.
How does the 1/4 zip help?
The 1/4 zip allows for easy and quick adjustment of ventilation. You can open it slightly for a bit of airflow or fully for maximum cooling.
Troubleshooting
Fabric not wicking moisture effectively
Ensure no fabric softener or harsh detergents were used, as these can clog the fabric's pores. Wash with a technical fabric wash if possible.
Polo feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softener. Air dry instead of tumble drying. If slightly stiff, a low-heat iron on the reverse side may help.
Zip is difficult to move
Gently try to move the zip up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully try to free the fabric. Avoid forcing the zip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This is a ready-to-wear garment with no specific setup required. Its primary compatibility is with typical equestrian riding attire. For optimal performance and longevity of the technical fabric, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash inside out with similar colours on a gentle cycle (30°C or 86°F). Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry the polo. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the technical fibers and affect the fabric's wicking properties.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, do so on a low setting, preferably inside out, and avoid direct contact with any printed areas.
- Bleaching/Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean the garment. These processes can compromise the fabric's integrity.
