FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this thermal top?

The primary purpose is to provide lightweight warmth as a base layer for children during outdoor activities or casual wear in cooler conditions.

What materials is the top made from?

The top is made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% viscose.

Is this top suitable for very cold winter weather as an outer layer?

No, this thermal top is designed as a base layer for insulation. For very cold weather, it should be worn with additional insulating and protective outer layers.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Peter Storm or the retailer, typically correlating UK children's sizes (e.g., 3-4, 5-6) to the garment's fit. The product description mentions this specific variant is size 3-4.

Can this top be worn by boys and girls?

Yes, the design is unisex and suitable for both boys and girls.

Does the 'Purple' color family apply to all available sizes?

This specific product listing is for the 'Purple' color. Other sizes within the Peter Storm Kids Long Sleeved Thermal Crew Neck Top range might be available in different colors, but this guide focuses on the specified variant.

How do I wash the thermal top to ensure it lasts?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent at a low temperature (30-40°C). Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat drying. Air dry or tumble dry on low.

Troubleshooting

Top feels itchy or uncomfortable.

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before first wear. The brushed inner is designed for softness, but some individuals may have sensitivities. Check that the correct size is being worn, as an ill-fitting garment can cause discomfort.

Thermal performance seems reduced after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers and reduce their ability to trap heat. Ensure the garment is not overdrying in the tumble dryer. Reshaping while damp and air drying can help maintain fabric integrity.

Color fades significantly after a few washes.

Wash the garment inside out with similar colors. Use cold water for washing and avoid direct sunlight when air drying to preserve color vibrancy.
