FAQs

Can this be worn as a standalone top?

While it can be worn alone, it is specifically designed as a technical base layer to sit next to the skin for moisture management.

Is the fabric breathable?

Yes, the 2-layer construction is specifically engineered for high breathability and rapid moisture transport.

Should I size up for a looser fit?

The Lifa® Active Crew has an active, athletic fit. If you prefer more room, sizing up may be considered, but remember that base layers perform best when close to the skin.

How does Lifa® differ from merino wool?

Lifa® fibers are synthetic and designed for rapid moisture wicking and durability, whereas wool is often chosen for natural odor resistance and heavier warmth.

Does this provide protection from wind?

No, this is a base layer and is not windproof. It should be paired with a shell for wind protection.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels damp during high-intensity exercise

Ensure you are not wearing an outer layer that is impermeable to moisture, which can prevent sweat from escaping.

Static buildup on the fabric

Avoid over-drying in the machine; removing the item while slightly damp and air drying can reduce static.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight design prevents overheating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Lifa® Active Crew, follow these care instructions. Machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle in cold water to preserve the integrity of the technical fibers. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can clog the wicking channels. It is recommended to hang dry or tumble dry on a low setting. This base layer is highly compatible with most technical outdoor apparel, including standard waterproof shells, fleece mid-layers, and insulated parkas.
