FAQs
What is Tactel® fabric?
Tactel® is a branded polyamide (nylon) fiber known for its softness, breathability, light weight, and exceptional quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties.
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50, indicating that the fabric blocks approximately 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation when worn.
How does the 'close to the body' fit work with comfort?
The fit is designed to be snug but not tight, allowing for ease of movement during activity. The ribbed collar and cuffs also contribute to a comfortable, non-restrictive feel.
Can I wear this for casual events as well as sports?
Yes, the technical fabric and design are optimized for performance, but the classic polo style and quality make it suitable for smart-casual wear.
How should I care for this polo to maintain its performance?
Follow the specific care instructions: machine wash cold (30°C), do not bleach, do not tumble dry, iron low, and do not dry clean. Washing dark colors separately is recommended.
What are the dimensions of the polo (inseam, weight)?
The product specifications list a weight of 240.0 g and an inseam length of 70 cm, though inseam is less relevant for a polo shirt and might refer to a garment measurement convention.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels damp after activity.
Ensure the garment is not oversaturated and that the fabric's moisture-wicking properties are not compromised by heavy detergents or fabric softeners. Wash according to care instructions.
Color fades after washing.
Always wash dark colors separately in cold water as per the care label. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
Stiffness or loss of fabric feel.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede the moisture-wicking capabilities of the Tactel® fabric. Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature.
