FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for all sports?

Yes, the UA Tech SSC is designed with sweat-wicking and quick-drying fabric, making it highly suitable for a wide range of sports and physical activities where comfort and dryness are key.

What is UA Tech™ fabric?

UA Tech™ fabric is Under Armour's signature performance material. It's engineered to be quick-drying, ultra-soft, and to have a more natural feel compared to other synthetic fabrics, while also effectively wicking sweat away from the body.

Can this shirt be worn for everyday activities, not just sports?

Absolutely. While built for performance, its ultra-soft feel and comfortable fit make it an excellent choice for everyday wear, school, or casual play.

How do I ensure the sweat-wicking properties last?

To maintain the sweat-wicking properties, avoid using fabric softeners and bleach when washing. These products can clog the fabric fibers and reduce their ability to wick moisture. Wash cold and tumble dry low or air dry.

Is the sizing accurate for kids?

Under Armour typically uses standard children's sizing. The specific variant is for 'kids' in '7-8' UK size. For the most accurate fit, always refer to Under Armour's official size chart if available, or consider your child's usual clothing size.

Is this shirt environmentally friendly?

The main body fabric of this shirt contains at least 90% recycled polyester, excluding trims and embellishments, making it a more environmentally conscious choice compared to garments made entirely from virgin materials.

Why does it sometimes feel static?

Polyester can generate static electricity, especially in dry environments or when rubbed against other synthetic fabrics. Using a dryer sheet in the dryer (if tumble drying) can help reduce static cling.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels damp or heavy during activity

This usually means the shirt is saturated with sweat beyond its wicking capacity or the environment is extremely humid. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate layers for the activity and hydration is adequate. For very high-intensity, consider rotating between two shirts.

Unpleasant odor persists after washing

Polyester can sometimes trap odors. Try washing with a sports detergent designed for technical fabrics or add a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle. Ensure prompt washing after use.

Fabric feels rough or less soft over time

Excessive use of fabric softener can coat the fibers and reduce their effectiveness and feel. Discontinue fabric softener use. Over-drying at high temperatures can also affect fabric texture.

Shrinkage or stretching

This shirt is 100% polyester, which is generally resistant to shrinking. If shrinkage or stretching occurs, it's often due to excessive heat exposure during washing or drying. Always wash cold and tumble dry low or air dry.

Care Instructions

Follow these guidelines to keep the shirt in optimal condition:
