FAQs

What is a base layer used for?

A base layer is worn as the first layer of clothing, directly against the skin. Its main purpose is to regulate body temperature by wicking away sweat and keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

How does LYCRA® fibre benefit this base layer?

LYCRA® fibre provides exceptional stretch and recovery, ensuring the garment offers lasting comfort, a secure fit, and excellent freedom of movement without restricting a child's athletic performance.

What is Optivent technology?

Optivent technology refers to the inclusion of mesh panels in the fabric design. These panels are strategically placed to enhance breathability, allowing for better airflow and helping to keep the wearer cool and dry by facilitating moisture evaporation.

Can this base layer be worn on its own?

While it can be worn on its own, it performs optimally as a base layer under other athletic clothing. It is not designed to provide significant impact protection or as a primary outer layer against harsh weather.

How do I choose the right size for my child?

Refer to the product's sizing chart to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. A base layer should fit closely to the body to effectively wick away moisture and provide support without restricting movement.

Is this product suitable for both boys and girls?

The product is listed for 'gender: Male' and 'age_group: kids'. While designed for junior male athletes, its technical properties make it suitable for any child requiring a performance base layer, though styling may vary.

What is the material composition of the base layer?

The shell is typically 92% Polyester and 8% Lycra (Grey Marl variant is 90% Polyester / 10% Lycra), with mesh panels made from 82% Polyester and 18% Elastane.

Troubleshooting

Child experiences irritation or chafing during wear

Ensure the base layer is worn correctly with flat lock seams lying smoothly against the skin. Confirm the size is appropriate, as an ill-fitting garment can cause rubbing. If irritation persists, check for any sensitivities to the fabric material.

Base layer feels too warm or not warm enough

This base layer is designed for core temperature regulation. If too warm, consider the environmental temperature and the intensity of activity; it may be suited for cooler conditions or as part of a layering system. If not warm enough, this indicates a need for additional outer layers, especially in very cold environments, as it's a 'core' layer, not an insulating outer layer.

Garment seems to have lost its shape or elasticity

Verify that the care instructions on the label have been strictly followed, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods. High heat can degrade the Lycra fibres responsible for elasticity. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners that might damage the technical fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply wear the base layer as the first garment, directly against the skin. Ensure the fit is snug but not constricting, allowing for full range of motion. The elastic hem helps keep the base layer in place during movement.

Compatibility: This base layer is designed for junior male athletes and is compatible with various sports uniforms and athletic wear. It comes in a range of children's UK sizes.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your base layer:

  1. Washing: Machine washable. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. Generally, wash with similar colors at a cool temperature.
  2. Drying: Air dry if possible or tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid high heat as it can damage the elastic fibres.
  3. Safety: Crucially, keep away from fire. The synthetic materials can be flammable.
