FAQs
What material is the Helikon-Tex SFU Next Shirt made of?
The shirt is made of Polycotton Ripstop, which is 60% Cotton and 40% Polyester.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the provided chest measurements: S 33"-37", M 37"-41", L 41"-45", XL 45"-49", XXL 49"-53". Measure your chest circumference and select the size that best matches.
Can I add patches to this shirt?
Yes, the shirt features ID hook-and-loop panels on the chest and biceps, specifically designed for attaching patches.
Are elbow pads included?
No, elbow pads are not included, but the shirt has reinforced elbows with compartments designed to accommodate them.
Is this shirt suitable for hot weather?
The Polycotton Ripstop offers a balance of durability and breathability. While suitable for many conditions, it may be warmer than very lightweight synthetic shirts in extreme heat.
How many pockets does the shirt have?
The shirt has a total of six pockets: two angled bicep pockets, two expandable angled chest pockets, and two expandable bottom pockets.
How should I wash and care for the shirt?
Machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron on low heat if needed.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop closure losing grip
Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces with a stiff brush to remove lint and debris. For stubborn debris, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can help dissolve residues.
Shirt feels too tight or loose after washing
Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely, especially regarding water temperature and drying methods. Check the size chart again and consider if a different size is needed. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made with the waist and cuff tabs.
Fabric snagged or torn
For minor snags, carefully trim any loose threads. For tears, consider using a fabric repair patch or professional alteration for larger damage. The ripstop weave helps prevent small tears from spreading.
