Troubleshooting
Shirt feels slightly stiff after washing.
This is normal for performance fabrics. The stiffness will reduce with wear. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can reduce the fabric's wicking and quick-dry capabilities.
Wrinkles persist after travel.
While wrinkle-resistant, some deep creases can form during prolonged packing. Hang the shirt in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a low-heat iron on the reverse side.
Shirt feels too warm for very hot days.
The lightweight polyester offers breathability, but in extreme heat, consider wearing it with the sleeves rolled up or unbuttoned over a moisture-wicking base layer for maximum ventilation.
