FAQs

What is the primary material of this sweatshirt?

The sweatshirt is constructed from polyester, known for its durability and comfort.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?

It is designed to offer extra warmth and is ideal for layering in cooler conditions. For extreme cold, additional layers or a heavier outer garment may be necessary.

How should I determine the correct size?

It is highly recommended to refer to the New Balance official sizing chart for men's apparel to find the best fit based on your chest and waist measurements.

Can this sweatshirt be worn for intense sports like running?

Yes, it can be worn for activities like running or training, especially in cooler weather. The half-zip allows for ventilation. However, for very high-intensity, sweat-inducing activities, you might prefer a more specialized moisture-wicking fabric.

How do I clean the sweatshirt to maintain its quality?

Machine wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and high heat ironing.

What type of fit does this sweatshirt have?

It features a regular fit, designed for comfort and ease of movement.

Troubleshooting

Shrinking after washing

Avoid high heat settings in the dryer. Tumble dry low or air dry. If minor shrinkage occurs, try stretching the fabric gently while damp.

Pilling or excessive wear

Ensure washing with like colors and on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or items with zippers that could snag.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
