FAQs
Is this hoodie suitable for cold weather?
The HH Tech Hoodie is a lightweight garment designed primarily for moisture-wicking, breathability, and sun protection. It is not intended as a primary insulation layer for cold weather. For colder conditions, it is best layered over warmer base layers and under a protective outer shell.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing excellent sun protection.
Can I wear this hoodie for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying and offers UV protection, this hoodie is not designed as swimwear. It is best suited for activities on land or as a protective layer before and after water activities.
How much recycled material is in this hoodie?
This product contains at least 95% Recycled Claim Standard certified fibers. It is made from 100% recycled polyester.
How do I check if I have the right size?
The hoodie should fit comfortably with a regular fit. It should allow for movement without being too baggy. Check the inside length measurement (61 cm for this model) and compare it with your own measurements, ensuring it covers your torso adequately without restricting mobility.
What certifications does this product have?
The product is certified for UPF 50+, contains recycled content (Recycled Claim Standard), and is a bluesign® product, indicating it meets high environmental and safety standards in textile manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less water-resistant after washing.
Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely, especially regarding the use of detergents and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impede performance.
Moisture-wicking seems reduced.
Over time, residues from detergents or body oils can build up. Try washing the garment with a specialized sports detergent or a small amount of baking soda to help strip away residues. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Seams feel uncomfortable.
Ensure the garment is being worn the correct way out. The flat seams are designed to lay flat against the skin; if they are causing irritation, double-check the fit and consider if a different size might be more suitable.
