FAQs
Is this top suitable for heavy rain?
The top features ProTek water-resistant technology, which is designed for light rain and showers. It is not intended to be a fully waterproof garment for prolonged heavy downpours.
How do I know if I chose the right size?
This top has a regular fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. You should have enough room to move freely during your golf swing without the garment feeling too loose or restrictive.
Can I wear this top in very hot weather?
While the fabric is lightweight and quick-drying, it is a long-sleeved top offering UV protection. For extremely hot weather, you might prefer a short-sleeved option, but this top can be suitable for sunny days where UV protection is key and a light breeze is present.
How should I clean the debossed panel?
The heat debossed panel should be cared for following the general garment instructions. Avoid direct ironing on the debossed area to prevent damage. Gentle machine washing and air drying are recommended.
What does UPF40+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF40+ rating means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection against sun exposure.
Will the print inspired by the golf course map wear off?
The print is integrated into the fabric's design. Following the recommended care instructions, especially avoiding high heat during drying and direct ironing on the print, will help maintain its appearance.
What material is the top made of?
The top is primarily made of 91% Polyester and 9% Elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and quick-drying properties.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading off the fabric.
The water-repellent finish may have diminished over time. Ensure you are following the care instructions and avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores. Reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray may be necessary after extended use.
The fabric feels less breathable or quick-drying than expected.
Check that the garment is clean. Residue from detergents, body oils, or sunscreen can affect fabric performance. Wash according to care instructions, ensuring all detergent is rinsed out. Avoid using fabric softener.
Limited range of motion during swing.
Ensure the garment is the correct size and not too tight in the shoulders or chest. Verify that the raglan sleeves are properly aligned and that no other layers worn underneath are restrictive.
Fading of color or print.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not wearing the garment, as UV rays can cause fading. Follow the washing instructions carefully, particularly regarding water temperature and detergent type.
