FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Dri-FIT technology?

The Dri-FIT technology is designed to wick sweat away from the skin, helping to keep the wearer dry and comfortable during physical activity.

How do I adjust the ventilation on this top?

The top features a quarter-zip fastening that you can zip up or down to control airflow and adjust ventilation based on your comfort level and activity intensity.

Are the mesh panels just for design?

No, the mesh panels are strategically placed in high-heat areas to enhance breathability and ventilation, helping to keep you cool.

Can this top be worn in cold weather?

While the top offers some warmth and coverage with its long sleeves and thumbholes, it is primarily designed for performance and moisture management rather than heavy insulation. It can be a good base layer or worn alone in moderate temperatures.

What material is the top made of?

The top is made from 100% Polyester.

How should I clean this drill top?

It is machine washable. Follow the care instructions on the label, typically washing with like colors on a gentle cycle and tumble drying on low heat or air drying.

Is this top suitable for all genders?

Yes, this top is designed with a unisex fit suitable for young athletes regardless of gender.

Troubleshooting

Sweat-wicking not effective

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions without fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Make sure the mesh panels are not obstructed.

Thumbholes feel tight

If the thumbholes feel too constricting, try stretching them gently while damp. For persistent discomfort, consider if a larger size might be more appropriate.

Zipper is stiff

Gently work the zipper up and down. If it continues to be stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of clear wax can help lubricate the teeth.
