FAQs
Is this sweatshirt suitable for heavy winter mountaineering?
Yes, it is designed for alpine conditions and has been tested by the Innsbruck Alpine School.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this?
No, fabric softener will coat the fibers and interfere with the odor control and breathability properties.
What is the primary benefit of the high collar?
The high collar offers increased coverage to protect your neck from wind and prevents heat loss.
Does this provide moisture-wicking capabilities?
Yes, the technical fabric is designed to regulate temperature and manage moisture effectively during activity.
Is this a base layer or a mid-layer?
It is best used as a thermal mid-layer worn over a light base layer.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less effective at temperature regulation over time
Wash the garment to remove salt or oil buildup from sweat that may be clogging the fabric pores.
Odor buildup occurs faster than expected
Ensure you are using a detergent specifically for synthetic technical fabrics and avoid fabric softeners entirely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow the care label instructions found inside the shirt. Wash using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for technical gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the moisture-wicking fabric and diminish the effectiveness of the odor control. For compatibility, this piece works best in a layering system; pair it with a synthetic base layer underneath and a waterproof, breathable hardshell on top for complete protection against the elements.
