FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ThermX Knit?

The ThermX Knit is designed to retain body heat without adding significant bulk, providing warmth while keeping the garment lightweight and comfortable for layering.

Is this baselayer suitable for mild weather?

While it can be worn in milder conditions, the Tech Baselayer Top is engineered primarily for colder days. Its insulating properties might be too warm for very mild temperatures.

How does the moisture-wicking feature work?

The fabric is designed to pull moisture (sweat) away from your skin and transport it to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate more quickly, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

Can I wear this baselayer for athletic activities?

Yes, the 4-way stretch and moisture-wicking properties make it suitable for many athletic activities, especially those performed in cooler weather. However, it is specifically engineered with workwear durability in mind.

What does the reflective Makita print do?

The reflective print enhances your visibility in low-light conditions, adding a safety feature for users working in environments where being seen is important.

How should I care for the baselayer to maintain its features?

Machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry low or hang dry, and importantly, avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking and heat-retaining properties.

What materials is the baselayer made from?

The baselayer is made from 92% polyester and 8% elastane, featuring ThermX Knit for heat retention and durable CORDURA reinforcements in the broader workwear range, although the specific baselayer focuses on fabric composition for performance.

Troubleshooting

Baselayer feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider trying a size up if a less snug fit is preferred, although this may slightly reduce thermal efficiency.

Reduced moisture-wicking performance

Check for residue from fabric softeners or detergents. Wash the garment again using a mild detergent without fabric softener. Ensure the garment is not overly worn or damaged.

Not as warm as expected

Verify that the baselayer is being used as the innermost layer to trap body heat effectively. Ensure the garment fits closely to the body. Check that the ThermX knit is not obstructed by other clothing layers.
