FAQs
What is IsoTherm technology?
IsoTherm is a thermal technology where densely packed fibers are used to trap body heat, providing warmth without adding significant bulk to the garment. This makes it ideal for layering.
How does the moisture-wicking feature work?
The fabric is designed to actively pull moisture (like sweat) away from your skin and move it to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate more quickly. This helps keep you feeling dry and comfortable.
Is this top suitable for very cold weather on its own?
The Keep The Heat Top is primarily designed as a base layer for warmth. While it provides good insulation for its weight, it is best worn as part of a layering system in very cold conditions, rather than as standalone outerwear.
Can I wear this for high-intensity sports?
Yes, its moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties make it suitable for activities with moderate to high intensity, as it helps manage sweat effectively. However, for extreme conditions, consider additional insulating layers.
How should I wash this top to maintain its properties?
Machine wash at a moderate temperature (around 30-40°C), do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the wicking and insulating performance.
What does 'lightweight' mean in the context of this top?
It means the top has a low weight-to-warmth ratio. It provides significant warmth without feeling heavy or cumbersome, making it easy to pack and comfortable to wear for extended periods.
What size is this specific product variant?
This specific product variant is a Women's Size 16.
Troubleshooting
Top feels damp after activity
Ensure the garment is not too tight, which can impede wicking. Check that no other layers are preventing moisture from reaching the top's fabric. Wash the garment according to care instructions, as residues can sometimes affect wicking performance.
Reduced warmth over time
Over time, the loft of the IsoTherm fibers can be compromised by excessive heat (high tumble drying temperatures) or improper washing. Ensure you follow the recommended low-heat or air-drying care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat fibers and reduce their insulating capabilities.
Fabric seems less soft after washing
Fabric softeners can cause this. Avoid using them with this garment. If it has happened, a rinse cycle with a small amount of white vinegar may help restore some softness, followed by air drying.
