FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the QUICK DRY & FRESH fabric?
The QUICK DRY & FRESH fabric is designed to efficiently wick moisture away from your skin, accelerate drying time, and repel odor-causing bacteria, keeping you comfortable and fresh during and after physical activity.
How does the UV 50+ protection work?
The fabric is treated or woven in a way that blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing significant protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Can this hoodie be used for swimming?
Yes, the product is suitable for activities in seawater due to its durable, abrasion-resistant fabric and quick-drying properties. It's designed to perform well both on land and in water.
What does SEAMSMART technology mean for comfort?
SEAMSMART technology refers to a construction method that minimizes or eliminates traditional seams, reducing potential points of friction and irritation. This allows for greater freedom of movement and enhanced comfort during dynamic activities.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is a 'grown-on' hood with elastication, meaning it is attached to the garment and has elastic trim around the opening for a snug fit. It does not have drawstrings or adjustable toggles.
What is the material composition?
The hoodie is primarily made of 90% polyester and 10% elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and quick-drying performance.
How should I care for this hoodie to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and do not iron or dry clean. Proper care helps maintain the fabric's performance features like moisture-wicking and odor control.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after activity
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions to maintain moisture-wicking properties. Check that the washing machine is not overloaded, allowing for proper rinsing.
Odor persists after washing
Verify that the garment is washed with detergent and not fabric softener, as fabric softeners can impede moisture-wicking and anti-odor treatments. Consider a pre-soak in a mild solution if odors are particularly stubborn.
Thumb loops feel restrictive
Ensure you are selecting the correct size. If the issue persists, the thumb loops may not be ideal for your personal comfort; they can be simply ignored or not used.
Seams feel irritating
The SEAMSMART technology is designed to minimize irritation. If discomfort occurs, ensure the garment is worn correctly and check for any external factors like backpack straps causing friction.
