Full details

Designed specifically for women, this overhead sweater excels at regulating body temperature during active pursuits like hiking or climbing.

FAQs

Is the fabric breathable?

Yes, the polyester core stretch material is specifically designed to be breathable and quick-drying, making it perfect for active movement.

Can I wear this as a outer layer?

It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions, but it is primarily designed as a midlayer and will not provide wind or rain protection on its own.

How do I ensure the correct size?

The product is available in standard UK dress sizes. It is designed for an active fit, so if you prefer a looser feel for layering, consider your standard sizing or consult the brand's specific size chart.

Is this garment eco-friendly?

Yes, the production process for each Lowline II midlayer recycles 15 plastic bottles, making it an eco-conscious choice.

What is the best way to clean the zip?

Keep the zip closed during washing to prevent damage. If the zip feels stiff, ensure there is no lint or fabric caught in the teeth and occasionally wipe with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing fuzzy after multiple uses

This is common with synthetic stretch fabrics. Avoid contact with rough surfaces (like velcro or granite) and use a fabric shaver gently if pilling occurs.

Sweat not wicking properly

Check your base layer compatibility. Ensure your base layer is also synthetic or wool; cotton base layers absorb sweat and prevent the midlayer from performing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-conscious design utilizing recycled materials
  • Highly breathable and quick-drying polyester fabric
  • Excellent elasticity for unrestricted range of motion
  • Half-zip allows for efficient temperature regulation
  • Lightweight and packable for travel or hiking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your midlayer remains in top condition, follow standard care guidelines for polyester-based activewear. Machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle with similar colors using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and stretch; however, if you must tumble dry, use the lowest heat setting. For optimal compatibility, pair this midlayer with a synthetic or merino wool base layer to maximize moisture management and layer it underneath a waterproof, breathable jacket for a complete three-layer outdoor system.
