FAQs

What is the primary material of this midlayer?

The midlayer is made from ILUS Core fabric, a blend of recycled polyester and elastane, offering 4-way stretch.

How many plastic bottles are recycled to make one midlayer?

Each midlayer is made using the equivalent of 19 recycled plastic bottles.

Is this midlayer suitable for very cold weather?

It provides warmth and is excellent for layering, but for extreme cold, additional insulating layers or a heavier jacket would be recommended.

How should I wash this midlayer?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, do not iron, and do not dry clean.

What activities is this midlayer best suited for?

It is ideal for hiking, climbing, cycling, and other outdoor activities, as well as casual wear, due to its stretch, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties.

Does the midlayer have pockets?

This particular model features a half-zip fastening but does not mention external pockets in its description.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fabric has stretch, but improper sizing will limit movement.

Midlayer is not wicking moisture effectively.

Check that the garment is clean. Detergent residue or fabric softener can inhibit wicking properties. Wash with a specialized sports detergent if needed.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure the inner zip guard is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently maneuver the fabric away from the zipper. If persistent, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.
