Troubleshooting
Garment feels damp after activity.
Ensure the NB DRY technology is functioning optimally by washing the garment according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede moisture-wicking capabilities.
Thumb loops feel too tight or uncomfortable.
If the thumb loops are causing discomfort, they can be used as a regular sleeve hem. Ensure the sleeves are not stretched excessively when inserting thumbs.
Color fading after washing.
Wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
