Product Information
Full details
This Castore Golf Flex Debossed Quarter Zip Long Sleeve Top is designed for adult male golfers seeking performance and protection on the course. Its key benefit is providing water resistance and UPF40+ sun protection in a comfortable, regular fit. A potential consideration is that it is specifically designed for active use, so casual wear may not be its primary strength. Key features include ProTek technology, UPF40+ sun shielding, a stand collar with quarter zip, and a lightweight, quick-drying fabric.

FAQs
What does UPF40+ mean?
UPF40+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and indicates that the fabric will block approximately 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays. It's a measure of sun protection for clothing.
Is this top suitable for heavy rain?
The ProTek technology offers water resistance, which is effective against light rain or drizzle. For heavy downpours, it is recommended to wear a dedicated waterproof jacket over this top.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide available with the product listing. Generally, this top features a regular fit. Measure your chest and waist and compare with the provided chart.
Can I wear this top for activities other than golf?
Yes, while designed for golf, the lightweight, quick-drying, and UV-protective features make it suitable for other outdoor activities like hiking, tennis, or casual wear on sunny or slightly damp days.
What is the material composition?
The top is made from 91% Polyester and 9% Elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and quick-drying properties.
How should I care for the debossed print?
To preserve the debossed detail, avoid harsh scrubbing, ironing directly on the print, and tumble drying on high heat. Always follow the recommended cold wash and low heat dry instructions.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after light rain
Ensure the ProTek technology has not been compromised by harsh detergents or excessive washing. Allow the garment to air dry completely. For heavy rain, a more robust waterproof outer layer may be necessary.
Stiffness or reduced flexibility in sleeves
Check that the garment is the correct size. Ensure it has been washed according to care instructions, as improper washing can affect fabric properties. Stretch the sleeves gently while damp.
Color fading or print damage
Always wash inside out on a cold setting and avoid direct high heat when drying or ironing. Do not use bleach.
