FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the wool/polyester blend?

The wool/polyester blend offers superior temperature regulation and moisture management, keeping you warm and dry in various conditions.

Is this top suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, it serves as an excellent base layer for cold weather, providing insulation and moisture-wicking. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating pieces is recommended.

How should I wash this base layer?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What does 'next-to-skin' mean in this context?

'Next-to-skin' means the garment is designed to be worn directly against your skin as the first layer of clothing for maximum comfort and performance.

Are there other color options available?

This specific product variant is in Grey Heather. Please check other product listings for potential color variations from Simms.

What is the purpose of raglan sleeves?

Raglan sleeves are designed with a seam that runs diagonally from the underarm to the collarbone, allowing for a greater range of motion and reduced chafing compared to traditional set-in sleeves.

Can this base layer be worn for casual use?

While designed for technical performance, the comfortable fit and material also make it suitable for casual wear, especially in cooler weather.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's size chart. A true next-to-skin fit is intended, so consider this when assessing tightness.

Reduced warmth or wicking performance

Check care label to ensure proper washing. Residue from detergents or fabric softeners can impede performance. Wash with similar colors and avoid bleach.

Seams feel irritating

Verify the garment is worn with the seams facing outwards if discomfort persists, though flatlock seams are designed for minimal irritation. Ensure the fit is not excessively tight, which can exacerbate seam pressure.
