Troubleshooting
Feeling too cold in windy conditions
The Grid Technic is a wicking layer; ensure you are wearing a windproof outer shell over it to prevent cold air from stripping away trapped body heat.
Garment feels damp during intense activity
Ensure the zipper is partially open to facilitate airflow and check that your outer shell is breathable enough to allow moisture vapor to escape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is designed for a close, athletic fit to ensure the fabric remains in contact with the skin for optimal wicking. Ensure you select the correct size to maintain this performance. For maintenance, wash the garment according to the care label, typically using a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the wicking properties of the Parameta G fabric. The item dries quickly, making it ideal for multi-day trips where gear needs to be washed and reused.
