FAQs
What is Q-Wic technology?
Q-Wic is a fabric technology designed to rapidly wick moisture and sweat away from your skin, promoting faster evaporation and keeping you feeling dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Is this t-shirt suitable for running in the sun?
Yes, the t-shirt features UPF 50+ UV shielding, which provides excellent protection against harmful sun rays, making it ideal for outdoor running and other sunny activities.
How does the antibacterial treatment work?
The antibacterial treatment is applied to the fabric to help inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, thus keeping the t-shirt fresher for longer, even during intense workouts.
Can I wear this t-shirt for casual everyday use?
While comfortable, the Persist Lightweight T-Shirt is primarily designed for performance. Its technical fabric and features are optimized for athletic activities. For purely casual wear, you might prefer a different material, though it can certainly be worn casually.
What materials is the t-shirt made from?
The t-shirt is made from super soft, lightweight recycled polyester fabric.
How should I care for the reflective detailing?
To preserve the reflective detailing, avoid high heat when drying and do not iron directly on these areas. Air drying is the recommended method.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% or more of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays.
Troubleshooting
T-shirt feels clammy or doesn't seem to wick moisture.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can block the fabric's pores. Check that the garment is not overly worn, as performance can degrade over time. Wash the garment alone or with fewer items to ensure proper rinsing.
Reflective detailing is peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat in the dryer and direct ironing on the reflective parts. If minor peeling occurs, try ironing on the reverse side with a cool setting. It is best to air dry to prevent damage.
Odor persists after washing.
The antibacterial treatment may be less effective with very heavy usage or improper washing. Try a pre-soak in a solution of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) before washing as usual. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
