FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Polygiene technology?
Polygiene technology inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the garment fresh for longer periods, which is ideal for multi-day trips or extended wear without washing.
Is this tee suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable and breathable, its technical features and slim fit are optimized for strenuous outdoor activities. It can be worn casually, but its performance benefits are best realized in active pursuits.
How does the slim fit affect comfort?
The slim fit is designed to reduce bulk, making it an excellent layer under other gear. It ensures next-to-skin comfort, particularly with the flatlocked seams, preventing chafing during movement and when wearing packs or harnesses.
Can I wear this tee in hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight, wicking fabric is designed to efficiently manage moisture and keep you cool, making it suitable for warmer conditions as a base layer or standalone top.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powdered detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can impair the fabric's performance and the effectiveness of the anti-microbial treatment.
How often should I wash this tee?
The Polygiene technology allows for less frequent washing. You can wear it multiple times before washing, especially on shorter trips. However, wash when it shows signs of odor or decreased performance.
What are the care instructions for drying?
It is best to air dry the tee or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can damage the fabric fibers and the anti-microbial treatment.
Troubleshooting
Tee feels damp or clammy
Ensure the garment is not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Check that there are no other layers preventing moisture from escaping. Wash with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners.
Odor persists after washing
Ensure adequate rinsing to remove all detergent. For stubborn odors, try a specialized sports wash. Double-check that the Polygiene anti-microbial technology is still effective (this technology is designed for long-term use).
Seams feel uncomfortable
The flatlocked seams are designed for comfort. Ensure the tee is the correct size and fit. If irritation persists, try a different base layer or adjust the positioning of your backpack straps or harness.
Reduced wicking performance
Fabric pores may be blocked. Wash the garment with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softeners or conditioners, and do not dry on high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Ignis Tee requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Its primary function is as a base layer, so consider how it will integrate with your existing outdoor apparel.
Compatibility: This tee is designed to be compatible with a range of outdoor gear. Its slim fit makes it suitable for layering under jackets, fleeces, and mid-layers. It is also designed to work well with climbing harnesses and backpack hip belts due to its low-profile seams.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Ignis Tee, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its wicking ability.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct high heat, which can damage the fabric and technology.
- Bleaching/Ironing: Do not bleach or iron the garment. These processes can degrade the material and the anti-microbial treatment.
