adidas Tech Apparel 1/4 Zip - Black - M

CLIMACOOL is adidas's cooling technology designed to help athletes manage their body temperature. It uses breathable materials and ventilation channels to wick sweat away from the skin and disperse it, keeping the wearer cool and dry.

The top is made from a blend of 89% recycled polyester and 11% elastane, incorporating both soft knit fabric and breathable mesh.

Machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid ironing directly on any graphics or logos.

It is primarily designed for athletic activities such as running and weightlifting due to its moisture-wicking and breathable properties. It can be used for other sports with similar demands.

Regular fit indicates a standard cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, allowing for comfortable movement during physical activity.

Yes, it can be worn on its own in cool weather or as a mid-layer in colder conditions, with the quarter-zip allowing for adjustable ventilation.

No, the blend is engineered to maintain the performance characteristics of moisture-wicking and comfort, while the recycled content contributes to sustainability.

Ensure CLIMACOOL technology is functioning correctly by washing the garment according to care instructions. Over time, residue from fabric softeners or detergents can impede wicking. Consider a gentle rinse cycle without detergent or a specialized sports wash.

Gently slide the zipper up and down a few times. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a tiny dab of clear lip balm to the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Check that the washing machine was not set to an overly aggressive cycle and that the tumble dry setting was low or that the garment was air-dried. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
