FAQs

Is this top suitable for marathons?

Yes, the NBDry fabric is designed to manage moisture over long durations, making it an excellent choice for long-distance running.

Can I wear this as a layer under a jacket?

Absolutely. Its regular fit and technical fabric make it an ideal base or mid-layer for colder training environments.

How should I choose my size?

This item follows a standard regular fit. If you prefer a loose fit for running, you may consider your typical size, but check the size guide provided.

Will the logo peel off in the wash?

The logo is durable, but for maximum longevity, turn the top inside out before washing to reduce friction.

Is this top windproof?

While the fabric is durable and dense, it is primarily designed for moisture management and breathability rather than windproofing.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The polyester weave provides natural flexibility, allowing for a full range of motion during athletic movements.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels damp after a short run

Ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable base layer underneath; the top works best directly against the skin.

Static cling

Avoid over-drying the garment in the machine; hang-drying usually eliminates static electricity in polyester apparel.

  • Versatile half-zip design for temperature regulation
  • Lightweight and breathable fabric
  • Easy to launder with standard machine washing
  • Comfortable regular fit suitable for various body types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This top does not require any specialized setup—simply choose the size that matches your standard fit. For best results with long-term care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and degrade the moisture-wicking capabilities.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain fabric integrity. If using a machine, select a low-heat, tumble-dry setting.
  4. Ironing: Avoid direct ironing on the logo or the synthetic fabric to prevent scorching.
