FAQs
Is this top suitable for heavy rain?
The ProTek technology offers water resistance, making it suitable for light rain or damp conditions. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The top features a 'Regular fit'. Refer to standard sizing charts and consider your preference for layering. The product description notes this is a 'Regular fit' designed for comfort during golf swings.
Can I wear this top for other sports?
While designed for golf, the lightweight, quick-drying fabric and freedom of movement offered by the raglan sleeves make it suitable for other activities like tennis or casual wear, though its specific features are optimized for golf.
What does UPF40+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of UPF40+ means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing significant sun protection.
How should I clean the debossed panel?
Follow the general care instructions for the garment. The heat debossed panel is integrated into the fabric and should withstand standard washing and drying procedures. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the debossed area.
What material is the top made of?
The top is primarily made of 91% Polyester and 9% Elastane, which contributes to its lightweight, quick-drying, and stretchable properties.
Does the quarter zip go all the way up?
The top features a stand collar with a quarter zip styling, meaning the zipper extends partway down the chest, typically to the sternum area, allowing for adjustable ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Water resistance seems to be reduced.
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its water-repellent properties. Re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may help restore performance.
Sun protection effectiveness feels diminished.
The UPF rating is inherent to the fabric's construction and should not diminish with proper care. Ensure the fabric is not stretched excessively, as this can expose more skin. Follow all washing and drying instructions to preserve fabric integrity.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper to help it glide smoothly.
Fabric feels less breathable or quick-drying.
This can sometimes occur if residue from detergents or fabric softeners builds up. Try washing the garment again with a small amount of mild detergent and no fabric softener, rinsing thoroughly. Ensure it is dried properly according to care instructions.
