FAQs
What kind of weather is this top best suited for?
This top is ideal for mild to cool conditions and is designed to offer protection against light rain and sun exposure.
Is the water resistance permanent?
The ProTek water resistance is a treatment that can diminish over time with washing and wear. Following care instructions and using re-waterproofing treatments can help maintain its effectiveness.
Can I wear this for other sports besides golf?
While engineered for golf, its features like water resistance, UV protection, and freedom of movement make it suitable for other outdoor activities like walking, tennis, or casual wear in appropriate conditions.
What is the fit like?
The top has a 'Regular fit', which is a standard fit that is neither too tight nor too loose. Please refer to sizing charts for specific measurements.
How should I clean the debossed details?
Clean the garment as per the care instructions. Avoid direct ironing on the heat debossed areas to prevent damage.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
Yes, the fabric contains 9% Elastane, providing a degree of stretch for comfort and ease of movement.
Troubleshooting
Water resistance seems reduced after several washes.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade water-repellent finishes. Consider using a technical wash or a re-waterproofing spray designed for performance fabrics.
Top feels less breathable than expected.
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and sweat residue can clog fabric pores. Check for any signs of damage to the fabric that might affect breathability.
The quarter zip is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zip back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly to the zip teeth if needed.
